A couple that I might consider using:1) An insta-kill spell or effect instantly takes you to -9 hit points. One round later, it takes you to -10 and you're dead. This would allow people the possibility of healing and survival if party-members acted quickly, but would keep insta-kill spells/effects very dangerous, since they'd punch straight through your hit points, however high.2) An insta-kill effect renders you catatonic at -9 hp. Healing magic which would raise you to 0 or above only gives you back 1 hit point per round, until you hit 0, at which point the rest of the healing occurs. This variant would mean that insta-kill spells/effects still take someone completely out of a fight (unless the fight lasts another 10 rds), without the problem of PCs dying because they blow one save.Just a couple of options off the top of my head.</blockquote>
