Death Toll seems to deal more damage than specified

In the Trial of the Sekhema, the Death Toll major affliction dealt more damage than the text reads.

Bug report reference ID: 299.959.268

The tooltip of the affliction read 1292 physical damage.
On room completion, before receiving the Death Toll hit, I was at 1673 life and about 3.5k honour.
The hit of Death Toll instantly killed my character by reaching 0 life. The honour after the hit showed 3k honour.

I have 0% armour so there shouldn't have been any damage reduction on the physical hit. I was expecting to take exactly 1292 damage, not more not less.

Other afflictions on the run:
Lose 30 Sacred Water on room completion
Monsters inflict Binding Chains on Hit
Room Types are unknown

As well as a pledge:
50% less honour lost in boss rooms, 100% more honour lost in boss rooms.



I don't know what exactly the bug is here. Maybe it deals more damage than it's supposed to, or the tooltip doesn't state the correct number. Maybe the damage it deals gets scaled with area level but not the tooltip.
Maybe I died to honour and not my life reaching 0 and the displays were wrong (while we're on the topic, could the tooltip please include how many % of damage taken are removed from honour?) though I don't think so because I was over 78% honour resistance.

Either way, I'd love to see this get fixed! It's frustrating to rely on the numbers that get shown and take a calculated risk only to then lose the run because the numbers were wrong.

Thanks for your time :)

Thanks for posting this, I was about to take that affliction. Would probably have killed me too...
Just died to this.

I had the same pledge as you (50% less honour lost in boss rooms, 100% more honour lost in boss rooms.)

So maybe a weird bug interaction with this pledge...
