That is still grave damage to the outside body and leaves the opponent susceptible to shock, blood loss, bacterial infection, and trauma. Pain is just mental damage that usually has virtually no bearing on "the badass" or the person that is specified to be immune to it. You mention being shot, stabbed, set on fire, dislocated... that's a regular thing for comic book mercenaries and secret agents. I see examples of fatigue just as much as I of obvious signs of pain in the comics especially when two opponents of almost equal strength battle it out.

But you want to remove pain and fatigue, I can get behind that.

So what about inventors or planners. How would we quantify their contribution to the battle?
