One of my friends started doing a thing where he adds his damage together. When it’s as high as his hit point total, then he’s down. I am trying it out. So I just needed to math the subtraction. Not a lot of math but shrug.

Our player who likes doing this to the DM: “So they’re giving us horses? What are the horses’ names?” Our DM: “…no. You choose.”

Speaking as a player (most of the time) I love making things worse for my poor character. And I send my evilest ideas to my DM. Who then makes them heartachingly worse. It’s great.
