Honestly this sounds kneejerky, but it isn't without merit, so I'll avoid saying "Naaah" out of reflex. Blocking the *suicide verb is reasonable. Blocking suicide, I feel, is unreasonable.
Personally, I think that suiciding for headspider is an unfun meta way to play
My thoughts on how I would like it to work...The headspider has crawled into you, it hasn't yet taken full control but it should have influence on the hosts behavior. Attempts at suicide should have the host finding that they can't bring themselves to do so
Succumbing actually actually speeds up the conversion process instead of ending it. You might have given up on life, but the spider didn't. Instead you just voluntarily handed over the wheel
Allowing the host to die via methods other than being lit on fire should act similar to succumbing - with the notable exception of the crusher and gibbing
People should be encouraged to try and surgically remove the spider, crush the host, or otherwise imprison them while they still can. While at the very same time finding themselves quite invested in the victims life - at least until.the spider is dealt with.
Bring in a sense of urgency, not just some meta fun killing suicide
