Here's another way to think of it, if you like. Same example, right where yours left off.
I say, "while you're lying there dying, I take the enchanted pearl from its jeweled box on your shelf and absent myself. Oh and I spit on you as I go past."
Or maybe I say, "just to make sure, I stab you ten times in the chest."
Now you have to choose: did you really mean to give? If you object to my action, no biggie, you just take back your give. We keep rolling and I get the advantage, after all.
If you really did mean to give and you stick to it, then your character's dead, or dying robbed and spat upon, and you suffer no other consequences.
