Re: Burden of time - rules?
I'm honestly not sure how many hits are generated. What I can tell you is that there are two kinds of hits:
[*] 999 point hits (absolutely positive about this one - just look at the members of the hall of fame that get killed by the burden).[*] 1 point hits (I am less sure of this one, but based on looking at diseased characters, I think this is how this works).
I believe that it never ever generates either kind of hit against any creature which is Undead, Demonic, Lifeless, or Ethereal. The 1 point hits are just like any other 1 point of damage, and have a chance to cause battle afflictions. The 999 damage hits generally kill their victims.
It's really hard to see exactly what the chances of an individual getting the small hits is, because generally this won't have any effect if a battle affliction is not generated.
