I think I would be fine so long as the wounds were not incurable. for my own purposes, raven can deal with the rest by stabbing someone and healing off the blood =P. What we actually would get out of this is being able to allow Joan to hit people since it won't mean they will just bleed out and die. She'll still be pretty lethal, but the chance exists for someone to escape. Or for raven to heal past it all and kick Joan off a cliff, but I have already stated my desire for dark side characters to be OP

Speaking of him, I'm in the middle of rewriting him. so far I'm still not quite happy with him. it may take a while... but I'm thinking of making him so that the only ways to really beat him are to break his lantern using the king's sword thereby cutting him off from all his collected souls and leaving him completely powerless or using Allucard's mind rewriting ritual to make Raven Forget he wants to kill everyone. The idea being to make it more dramatic to actually beat him rather than to let Raven bulldoze through all of the heroes. I am okay with adding methods to the list of ways to end Raven, but I would like them to remain reasonably difficult. The sword is in the hands of only an okay swordsman and would need to hit the lantern which can be kept out of reach and the ritual would need to be performed after beating Raven in combat which Allucard will have trouble doing on his own.

Of course we don't have to go that way if everyone has a problem with it. He can be just as kill-able as everyone else, I just thought it would be cool if the light side had to go the extra mile to take him down. of course I kinda lose all claim to that if he doesn't get to be second in command, but whatever...
