There's even a sentence in the Player's Guide (that you left out when you quoted the rest of the paragraph) that explicitly calls out that this is up for discussion:"GMs should discuss with their players before adding this rule, to agree on the specifics."And personally, in my own games, I don't use the Instant Death rule. (For some additional house rules that are not - yet? - in the Player's Guide, see <a href="https://xoth.net/blog/2021/01/by-these-5e-rules-i-axe/">The World of Xoth  » Blog Archive   » By these (5E) rules I axe!</a> and feel free to comment on those as well...)Looking forward to hearing any ideas you may have on making magic more dangerous/unpredictable for spellcasters... without making spellcasting PCs totally unplayable.</blockquote>
