Ankh Question

I recently went into battle and lost, with my Pretender, a Father of Serpents, wearing the Ankh. After calling god for a few turns, my Pretender came back, but as a Soulless Warrior! Many fewer hp, but he still had his magic proficiencies (minus 1 of each of course), even though he is tagged as mindless. Is this a bug, or normal for a Pretender killed wearing the Ankh?

Your pretender was probably killed in that battle, immediately restored as a Soulless Warrior by the power of Ankh, and killed once more. And as you pretender was killed in his undead form, the recalling brought it back.

IIRC, same thing happens with Twiceborned and Transformed pretenders - they keep their new form past death and Calling.
