The most common hosue rule in pen and paper AD&D in sunciousness.  The way
that works is that 0 is unconcious. Once unconcious you lose 1 point per
round until a friend binds your wounds, or you hit -10 at which point you die.

Nice thing abt this is that it gives a STRONG incentive to band together
for safety.
