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"....

Re: Balancing the blesses
A stay-bless shroud on an assassin would be very interesting also. Even if the assassination fails, you would be likely to inflict crippling damage to leaders far within the enemies territory.

Yep, this makes death bless rather nice if you can pull it off. If it works with sacred mages which are for more plentiful then this could seriously hurt. I rarely have a chance to test, MP is my usual test ground.  Hence my spectecular battlefield successes and my hideous battlefield flops. It could have been kissblade who mentioned it, I forget now.
