Of course, sometimes it's more efficient - something appealing to Mostali - to wound. Sentimental humans are then lumbered with a casualty to tend, protect, bring home, etc, depeting their effective strength by rather more than one combatant. Over the centuries, I'm sure Mostali have developed all the best How To Defeat Humans Efficiently manuals (and counterparts for all the other races), with a flow-diagram to evaluate whether it's best in a partcular circumstance to kill or wound...
