Twiceborn Crone doesn't have much to say...

Practiced with a Crone using Twiceborn. She came back fine but was mute from the rebirth battle (very bad for the mojo). How does one mitigate the affliction risk for that spell or is it just meant to be?

Regeneration makes afflictions less likely. Not being cursed also helps.

Does twiceborn work with drowning?

Otherwise, try to go up against something that'll kill in one shot.
I believe pretenders are extra vulnerable when they've moved from high to low dominion. They have many hp so can take many wounds, but chance of a wound is based on their current max hp.

The chance of affliction is equal to the percentage of damage you take compared to your maximum hit points. The crone will likely lose all her hit points at once and be guaranteed an affliction. There are a couple ways to mitigate this result.

First, fight in a zone that is strong in your dominion. Second, equip an item that gives regeneration or cast the spell as it will reduce the total chance of affliction by 1/8.

Good luck.

No. Drowning will be perma death.Its a Known Bug.

Try poison, no afflctions there. Maybe place it next to a bog beast or two set on guard commander, give it an axe of hate if needed.

Pretty sure poison does cause afflictions. Not 100% though.

That said, you should use bog beasts even if it does.

Shoot with magical arrow - very low chance of afflictions

Do not forget there is a chance of getting a boost to your death magic when you are re-born. Depending on your situation, you may want to cast twice born on someone who already has high death magic in the hope of getting another level.
