The point is that he's blowing 10 HP on it - which are worth much more than calves of gold. For 10 HP he could have picked up 10 different abilities, or saved his bacon 10 times, etc. If this is the only raid he's likely to be on (so the price is as "related"), and he *really* wants a +4 increase, then so what? If it really irks you (as narrator), then you can discuss it with him. Would you stop someone from blowing 10 HP on "Close Combat" when all he did was defend himself for one round and then run away?
