Ideas for a less Heroic 4e

I thought it'd be nice to see some suggestions on toning down the heroic elements of 4e.

1. All effects that would normally be ended by a successful save are instead merely negated until the end of your next turn on a successful save. 20+ ends the effect. Under these circumstances, I would allow players to spend a surge as a standard action to roll a save and add their endurance bonus.

2. During an extended rest, restore all lost hit points and one (1) healing surge.

#1: Uhh... this is basically going to turn every fight into a question of who gets off the disabling (save ends) powers first. I don't know about the heroism effects, but it's going to cause a lot more random Game Overs.

Just play with my group.

It's not really heroic to watch us all blow our dailies and encounter powers in the first three rounds of combat and land NONE. I swear we can't crack an 8 on the d20.
