I have to disagree - at least the part about working for fantasy.

Very few fantasy novels I know of allow the hero to get away with being 
stabbed 19 times with a sword, and if he ever was stabbed with a sword - it 
slowed him down and hurt his ability to do things, and it slowed him down 
right away.

But there is always that.  And, given that this is a hobby, that is all 
that truly matters.
