And you are assuming these force 2 or 3 spells are gonna actually hit
anything...any decent sammie is going to shrug these off like so many
flies.

A buddy with a medkit.

No
| resurections, no cloing, etc...

The guys who don't go unconscious have a chance to help those that have, or
those that have died, or run away screaming...that's the point. Once you
go down for any reason you are useless for the rest of the encounter.
