Death Weapons

As in the D9 blessing on sacred troops. Does anyone know what it does exactly?

Death Weapons, ahhh, I am so happy that there are still esoteric mysteries in the game. No-one knows if they do 2 points of AN damage that can be resisted by MR, or if they turn all of the damage to AN damage and do +2 damage that can be resisted by MR, or...

The game knows.

EXTRA damage and THE damage, so only the 2 points of AN damage is negated by magic resistance, and only it (THE damage) is magical.

This also fits with Fire weapons, which deals extra damage that is magical but doens't affect the base weapon.

So is this like the Fire bless in most respects?

Except a fair bit weaker. The crazy affliction chance propably has it's uses though.

Sort of. I think its every time you hit an enemy they take a mr test and, if failed they take 2 point of AN damage (tien chi S&A/marignon have cheap, 2 attack sacred. Give them a w9d9 bless and let 'em rip on enemy SCs).

SCs wont fail the MR save too often though.

You'll pay through your nose for it though.

You could always do a F9D9, turmoil 3, sloth 3, cold 3, death 3, dominion 10 lich queen with Ermor. You get about 5 knights of the Unholy Sepulchre per castle per turn with that setup.
