Since you won't pop back completely ready to fight. And being knocked down a couple times in a single fight will be nasty. Or even dropped a couple times during the adventuring day, as the exhaustion will stick around. 2-3 death saves will take a couple days to sleep off and aren't easily removed by low level spells. One bad fight will hurt for the rest of the adventuring day. The catch with the rule is, you actually dying slower (in that you need to fail six death saving throws, doubling the number of rounds before death) and significantly harder (since you have more rounds to stabilise). Except until you hit 3 levels of exhaustion, when making those death saves becomes harder.I might merge the rules. Keep the three death saving throws before death but also have failing a death saving throw granting a level of exhaustion. So you die at the same rate and bleed out as quickly, but have the added penalty that builds up over multiple deaths.</blockquote>
