"Painless" Doc Jhonson, or how to kill your commander

[Necroant]

Twiceborn looks like a good deal, but i cant figure a way to kill enchant bearer with minimal risc of afflictions. Drowning doesn't seem to work - he drowns ok but doesn't ressurects. Barbarians tend to be crude surgeons leaving me with blind or feebleminded or armess/legless wights. What do you suggest?

Some consider it an exploit but a bog beast/hydra set to guard has been used. I had much the same issue with twiceborn way back when..

Thank you for a good idea. But what's with really tough guys like Agarthan Oracles? They don't die from poison in a reasonable time.

You could give them a disease with a Fever Fetish. Once they're diseased they won't heal between battles/turns anymore. Couple that with the poison trick and they're bound to wind up dead soonish at which point the disease won't affect them any more.

I should note all of these methods are likely to hand you a pile of afflictions. I'd think barbs are 'safer'.

[LDiCesare]

Aside from poison, I think a single soul slay or lost magic duel might have low risk?
Cast regeneration first if possible?

[Necroant]

So, everything boils down to "one powerfull blow" vs "lots of small hp losses"

Why do you want to change form anyway? Twiceborn is kind of an insurance policy against death, seems a shame to waste your first life deliberately.

Upkeep costs.
