However, with three players able to cast healing spells, it's a moot point. Unless I go out of my way to have a single monster double attack a downed player, or two monsters strike them once, they will get up by the next round. And frankly, I'm just not going to double-tap someone unless there's no viable conscious target for the NPCs. This is a game among friends who are mostly noobs, not an AL game.Thus, since I'm not willing to outright murder my players when they go down if there are conscious targets nearby, I need a system that punishes them for hitting 0 without killing them. I'm open to alternative ideas or tweaks to my concept, but I already know the base game's rules are too forgiving unless I want to be a vicious DM and pick on downed players.</blockquote>
