Balancing the blesses

Death bless however may be very powerful, someone hinted that a sacred mage blessed with D9 who cast a battlefield wide damaging spell got the 350% affliction chance on every unit effected. Is this true?

I have not tested it yet but if true would make death bless excellent.

Hmmm, I'm going to have to try that out. One thing I have found with the death bless is that the affliction bonus does effect missile weapons unlike the damage bonus for f/d level 9. If you have access to holy archers (they're fairly rare) a high death bless is pretty wicked as those little 1 and 2 point damages from the arrows make people's arms fall off! On top of the obvious advantage this gives you, you can imagine the uses for "fire and retreat"....
