Cost to cast aura: 40% of your HP

Due to the way rounding numbers works in PoE, having 1 HP and casting an aura (or anything else) drops you to under 1.0000, and kills you.

BM mod is the only Absolutely impossible mod to be done with a CI character.

40% of my HP means that I should have 0.6 life left right? Only 40% of 1 should dissapear.

Nope, bad assumption.
Once you go BM you die as soon as you go below 1 hp. Period.
If not then you could go CI then hook up auras to blood magic and use them with seemingly NO resources or penalties.
A nice thought, but something that you defiantly should have took the time to research before testing it in a HC map.
Don't know why your acting like it's the auras fault. You made it clear you didn't look at the map before you went in, so if purity didn't kill you, you would have died as soon as you cast something.

Sorry for your loss, but live and learn.
Good luck on re-roll.

When's the last time you've seen your Life displayed in decimals?

I would be more sympathetic if this wasn't so damn funny! But hey, sometimes you have to learn the hard way. No decimals in PoE.

This is too hilarious and you are too retarded :D

I thought you were unable to kill yourself via force BM with CI?

YOu know what's weird>
The Eye of Chayula reduces max life by 20%...yet that CAN be equipped by a CI character.
Odd...

high level hardcore is definetly the place to test it ;)

Reduction of max life is different from Reservation of life

Yes...but why?
Why does 20% Reduction not kill a CI character, but 20% reservation will?
Why on earth does the type of penalty have a different effect, 20% is 20%.

Just more GGG esoteric usage of standard English words.

reduction of your maximum hp pool = you're still at 100% hp, just that your life pool got smaller

reservation of your hp pool = you're no longer at 100% hp
