Indeed: while I wouldn't do such a thing myself, as it would be, in a  
way, almost a *double* abuse, it really makes the threat a little weak.

There really are quite a number of people who would *love* to see  
assassinations have at least a rare possibility of actually killing  
characters...and not all of them play infiltrators.

(Actually, I'd be in favour of *any* kind of serious wound having  
some chance of becoming mortal, increasing with physical age, etc  
etc...more turnover and people being more careful with their  
characters' lives is a good thing!)
