Improved crit: Instead of rolling double damage dice (which can result in a lower total than a non crit) the second dice is automatically its highest value. E.g. Instead of rolling 2d6 we roll 1 d6 and add 6

Yes

I have better idea...

Massive damage: When a single hit causes more damage than 50% of REMAINING HP then we roll on the massive damage table and add extra effects (tbc).

Yes

Lasting damage: Everytime a player is reduced to 0 HP and revived they are left with a permanent scar or disability. Can also be used with massive damage. The lasting effect can be cosmetic only or impose ongoing penalties (e.g you now have a massive scar, or you loose a finger -1 to dex)

Yes

AC mod: Rolling exact AC does half damage

I have better idea...

Veil of Death: All death saving rolls are hidden rolls made by the DM. Oh God the tension!

Yes

I have better idea...

Exhausting combat: After combat lasting more than 2 rounds, roll a CON save. Take a point of exhaustion on a fail.

I have better idea...

Forced crit: A player can turn a hit into a crit by taking 2 levels of exhaustion.
