Best way to lose a battle...

[thejeff]

True that you can lose SCs because they are unconscious and can't flee, but that doesn't fall quite so far into the "clearly winning" category. You weren't winning, you were passed out in the corner...

And an SC really needs some reinvig. If you're relying on a life drain attack you can get by without any. Or 0 fatigue non-casters, I guess, but even that's risky since any fatigue from spells or attacks won't go away.
