Oh ho! A fellow save editor! One of my favourite tricks is setting people to dead under the BodyData item.
Syntax is,
."BodyData":{"HealthValue":0.00001,"Dying":true,"Dead":true,"DID":
so you'll probably come across
and all you need to do is add "Dying":true right after the"BodyData":{"HealthValue":1.0,"DID":
."HealthValue":1.0,
It's convenient for robbing guests on the way out, or that Mysterious Cultivator at the start of the game. Also on the rare playthroughs where I accidentally offend a faction enough that they send a kill-squad of Nascent Soul elders to fuck up my shit before I have my own core team. Not so tough without any of their artifacts. Alternatively you could use "IsCorpse|P":true but that tends to be further down, which is a bitch to navigate on Notepad++.
You can do this save editing business on Iron Man as well, provided you manage the names of the save files.
