Let fighters collapse and be rescued instead of dying at zero health

Dying the moment health hits zero is harsh in a long journey, but a downed state that never ends makes fights endless. This entry sets up a short countdown, what a further hit does, and when the whole party counts as beaten.

Why this works

A mistake should cost something the player can still repair. A short countdown turns a loss into a rescue, which gives teammates something to do, and because it ends, the fight cannot drag on forever.

When not to use it

Skip it in a game where death is the whole point, such as a harsh survival or permadeath game, or when you play alone with no one to help. There, choose a plain defeat or a clear penalty instead.
