Instant Death

Instant Death is found on B423 and says to avoid rolling damage and automatically reduce to -5xHP for "obviously lethal" attacks to helpless/unconscious (but not unaware) foes.
Although it's done to avoid hassle, it's not very realistic. Someone who has their throat slit during a coma for example, might have that wound healed by a friendly mage the next second before they could completely bleed to death, even if they can't be woken to prevent future attacks, their allies could.
