a "dead" homin could have more than one use;
"My son is ill, speak to the Master Healer of the Tribe, he may have a recipee for a cure"
"My son has been knocked unconscious by the goo/raiders/gibbai, he needs water"
"Sneak past the sleeping marauders to the east and retrieve the bag"
ofcourse all these would need wakeup juice also, last time i tried to "add hp" to a dead thing my client crashed
