Any way to mitigate half move/dodge from injury

Arguably, while High Pain Threshold means you can endure the little injuries, by the time you're at 1/3 HP you're still feeling pretty miserable from general aching and soreness and such.

Just playing devil's advocate, though. I always assumed the speed reduction was due to actual structural damage; having muscles refusing to work properly and such.
