Curious: Ritual of Return+Rebirth?

[JimMorrison]

Aha. I've never really used it, I was under the impression that you -take- the damage, and then teleport home. Could have sworn I saw someone mention that dying in 1 hit rendered it moot, but can't remember where, and searching "Ritual of Return" doesn't really narrow the field from offhand references, to real discussions of the mechanic.

Its hard to tell Jim, but I've used it hundreds of times.. and never gotten an affliction.. but that would probably be the easiest way to tell

Take a D9 bless and see if you get any afflictions.. in a M3 province...

I know that I've lost casters to Soul Slay even when wearing Armor of Virtue. Therefore, I don't think RoR negates damage, although maybe 999 damage is "special".

RoR negates damage I recall. Things which kill without damage perhaps might not apply.

unfortunately soul slay does kill with damage, it says damage death but really it's 999, many a sphinx have taken a hit from soul slay and survived.

Yeah, but 999 damage is "special" in at least one respect: it ignores Luck. It could be that it's special w/rt RoR as well.
