I don't know about that. Most afflictions don't actually hurt SCs. Limp, Never-healing Wound, Lost An Eye, etc., on a blessed, thugged-out Adon basically don't matter. You got unlucky in getting one of the few (Mute, Feebleminded, Chest Wound) that does hurt but I wouldn't be deterred from using SCs against most nations even with a D9 bless. Machaka and other poison nations are slightly different because poison is hard to defend against, but that would be mostly true even without a D9 bless. I'm probably either prepared for poison or prepared to ignore poison.

I guess this means I have to test it...
