That's wonderful. Combine the increased affliction chance with the increased damage, and you have guerilla tactics that death nations can use. They can send smaller, expendable armies of undead and priests earlier in the game to attack enemies, dealing a lot of damage and afflictions before they die, ruining the larger defending armies.

Cheap sacreds like flagellants might also be good for something like this.
I don't think it makes a good raider force. They aren't good at pillaging, or even much better at conquering provinces, but they can make enemy armies less powerful. That's rarely useful against national units, but against Jotunheim, or thugs or SCs, it can be worth it. And the 100%, or doubled afflictions, are just for Death 4. Every pick after 4 increases it by further 50 percent. At Death 9, we're talking of +350% afflictions.
