I wouldn't want the walking wounded, or permanent injuries & scars, to be 
*common*, but I do see the attraction of making them possible.

That's one reason why my house rules call for rapid natural healing of 
"ordinary" injury, but slow (1 point per 1d days) recovery of the physical St drain 
due to "serious" injury (injury below St 0). Thus in my game, a St 12 
character wounded to -8 could be up to full "hit points" in a few days (with 
physickering, but no magical healing) but might take up to a month to fully recover. 

Do you consider it a bug or a feature if "walking wounded" characters with 
half-healed wounds are low on "hit points" and thus vulnerable to sudden death 
from further injuries that are relatively minor?
