Of course, although in a game that's "all about" combat it would make
sense to have physical risk be involved.

Political risk, while not necessarily having tangible effects on a
character, carries its own dangers. In particular, it's open to abuse
by organised PK types, who although they can't kill you physically can
certainly do so politically. Just something to be aware of (I'm sure
you are already!).
