WHAT? Yeah, right.. Think about it in role-playing terms, chummer. Which
would YOU rather have done to you -- serious Stun damage that leaves you
stumbling around whimpering for a couple of hours, or serious Physical
damage that can scar or cripple you and cause excruciating physical pain?
"Oh, that's okay, I can cure it with a spell" isn't quite the proper
motivation for something like that. Not when it's your own body and your
own pain on the line. Characters should be treated as characters, not as
sets of numbers.

Blessings,
