SSJ, I found the death blessing very helpful against Karim's early rush, but only mildly useful otherwise. I had taken it to be thematic and in a rush to get the pretender in. Not sure I would go with it again. Have you found it interesting?

Also, on the stealthy astral, it is a nasty idea. Against a nation like Piggles, who have astral all over their national mages, one expects it, but against some other nation, it could make a mess of things. Of course, with the Chalice, it is not such a big deal in this game for me...
Sax,
There were tested reports in some forum thread that the death bless transferred to ritual attacks if you had the ritual caster wear a Shroud of "BS" . I have not seen that antecdotally in my rituals. With D10 carrying a 400% affliction chance I figured many cheap rituals would become devastating. Also late game undead mastery with D10 mage + a couple items would make large late game undead attacks moot (assuming you could get the spell off). I figured at that level it might even work on tarts.
