I believe the manual is erroneous. KO has stated in the past that regen reduces afflictions in proportion to regen %, e.g. a Lamia Queen with a Ring of Regen and Monolith armor will be less afflicted than someone with just an N4 bless. My experience is that he is correct. A regenerating Pretender who is killed by D9 weapons frequently has 3 or 4 afflictions by the time he dies.

I've actually played a game where I was using sacred hydras with a nature bless. They had better than 100% regen and still occasionally picked up afflictions.. and that wasn't against death blessed creatures. It was pretty rare, but did happen, even without the hydras being on their last head.
