First, just to be clear, the book rule is that you can just decide to knock a creature unconscious when they drop to 0 hp, rather than kill them.Is your rule more realistic than the book rule? Sort of, but (a) the hp system is massively unrealistic to start with and (b) in real life it is really hard to knock someone unconscious in a controlled and safe way. So if the realism of the book rule is 1/10, yours might be 2/10... better but I wouldn't say by enough to matter.Is your rule more fun than the book rule? That's really up to you all. It doesn't sound great to me, it is more complicated and requires more finicky decision making which probably slows down combat. And it is more likely to fail, so it probably gets used less. But fun is a subjective standard, people can disagree without anyone being wrong.Is your rule more fair? As long as the same rules are applied to everyone, then they are equally fair.</blockquote>
