There is literally no way around it. You cannot take and axe to nearly any part of your body without losing efficacy to a very noticeable degree.At best, you’ve just shifted the incongruency that you hate so much with fast natural healing over to the fact that you’re at peak performance with 1 HP. Which isn’t any less incongruent, it’s just in a different place that you happen to be comfortable with.In other words, why can’t you just admit that this is a matter of preference. You prefer HP to be a certain way, but don’t care about incongruency in terms of how a person functions after getting stabbed (ever been stabbed!?) if it makes the game run more smoothly, while other prefer it the other way?</blockquote>
