That's correct, it is deadly as is, and it's the model I prefer.

The point isn't to butcher characters, but to make them consider a wide
range of tactics besides combat, especially instead of straightforward
combat. Ambush, for example.

What I don't prefer is making it possible for characters to hack and slash
constantly by making it easy for them to be healed between encounters. If I
wanted that, I'd play D&D.

I could point out that I swam in my armor once (during a woods battle at a
Pennsic long ago). In any case, that's what fords are for.
