I think there is another piece to the death flag as I've seen it proposed in other places. You get say half a dozen action points each time you rest for the night. You raise the death flag to get extra points. To lower the death flag you have to buy the points back, so you are in danger until the next day typically. You can raise and lower the death flag as an immediate action if you have the point remaining. Our estimed DM may of course have something different in mind. That is just one way I've seen it done.
