I am officially declaring shenanigans against the "painful death" bane. I'm
pretty sure it's sucking off all exp WAY more than 25% of the time, or I'm
just coming up snake eyes so much I should invest in some better life
insurance irl.
If I'm right, I'll say I have no problem with this bane being nicer or nastier
than it is, or with the help file being more ambiguous, but the current
description is flat out wrong. This may be to a bug or a lie of omission, but
still, shenanigans.
