Why give them immunity bracelets that would certainly be used beyond
their intended purpose by power gamers, when by not doing so, you
force a grouping dependancy on them. If an explorer needs hack &
slashers to go into dangerous areas he's going to have be get to
know people who'll gladly take him along. As long as doing so
doesn't eat into their experience I doubt they'll mind.

After all, only a foolish explorer/cartographer would step into
enemy territory without an armed escort.
