Add a true/false option for if gear loses durability on death, it will not go below 1 durability, so that you always have the chance to repair it.

Please describe why you want this feature.
We're debating as the Rebirth of the Night dev team about death punishments, and decided this feature will help balance death punishment the best. Losing durability on death is EXTREMELY punishing, yet if the item does not break, it will still disincentivize death but will not be as punishing, since you can always recover from it by repairing your very expensive gear.
