Seeking Arrow Test (Updated 1st June 2009 to V1.1 with Death Bless tests)

Will death bless allow more than 1 affliction per hit? If not it makes sense that it wouldn't raise the chances as much as advertised since the multiplier would stop at 100%. So if you do 5 damage to an 10 HP unit that's a 50% chance of an affliction, the most the D bless could do at that point is doubling it (+100%) which would put it up to a 100% affliction chance, any additional chance would be wasted. (And of course any testing for this should not include the D9 bless, since I assume that would allow a second affliction due to being 2 different damage checks.)

yeah the +400% affliction is amusing when you combine it with that spell Blood spell that does 1AN to the whole battlefield.
Or roughly 40% chance of an affliction... to a normal human.

That's exactly why it needs to be tested with high HP targets. The first arrow seems to have an unnaturally high chance of causing a Chest Wound, so the real test of affliction rate will come in getting afflictions from successive hits in the same turn.
