Because physical combat is the most obvious use for the conflict resolution system. Roleplayers like fighting.

Psychological wounds are, it seems to me, even worse than physical ones. Physical healing in Gloranthan roleplaying is common. Healing of damaged social standing is almost unheard of. I guess that's what the "Issaries the Concilliator" HQ is for.
