- Has a 2/3 chance to deal an average of about +150% damage (0 - 300%) to undead targets, or an average of +100% damage per swing.
- Unlike other brands, the damage isn't distributed linearly. Instead, the extra damage equals
3d(3 * dam + 1)/3 - 1, so it's weighted towards the average.[1]
Unlike the similar holy wrath brand, this brand can be used by the undead.
