Death-9 is very weak, too, unless you go through some strange exploits involving deliberately suiciding your sacred mages to avoid upkeep. I wouldn't mind a completely new Blood-9 and Death-9 blessing effect.

Blood: How about "Blood Vengance -4" ? Meaning opponent makes an MR save versus penetration 7 or gets hurt instead of the blessed unit. Or else, "Blood Poison": Any melee attacker that draws blood is poisoned.

Death: Keep the unit EXACTLY THE SAME after death, just add the "undead" flag, refill its HP, and give it 0 base encumbrance.
Blood vengeance has ben tested at an early stage. It was ridicously (damn language, this is the second time I come across this stupid word. Could someone inform me of the correct spelling) powerful.

The strength effect is rather powerful at high levels and the curse is fun.

Undead is not a flag. It is an intrinsic of a unit and not changable (like stealth). An entirely new stat would have to be introduced. Not impossible, but not quickly made either. Otherwise it's a good idea. It was discarded ages ago in the development of Dom 1, but the current development of Dom2 with easy modding etc might have opened new possibilities, to some extent at least. Hmm, I just got an excellent idea derived from your undead flag. I must ponder this. Thanks!
