Bring me glory in combat!
Henzell says...
  1. If you have no resistance, does HP/2 - 1 damage to the player, nearly halving their current hit points. The most common form of {torment resistance} is rN, each level of which reduces damage by 10%, but there are other sources as well (being a gargoyle or statue, Kiku, one Ds mut). Also, most undead (but not alive player vampires) and some forms give {torment immunity}.
  2. A overrated threat for extended. Do not fear: aside from {torment resistance} and {torment immunity}, one can use tactics outlined in 'https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3443&#p43566 'to deal with it.
  3. Negative energy resistance reduces the damage percentage by 5% per level, so at rNeg+++ torment only takes 35% of your health.
