so heres what happened. the cleric had touch of divine on, then was camping.
he realized he wasnt going to make it and insta camped right as ToD faded, then died. the character died, and a corpse was left, but logged back in to game with cleric geared and at 22% life. gained exp from rez but not sure if lost from death. only problem is the cleric cannot loot this corpse copy atm. currently waiting til it goes to shadowrest to see if that works for some reason.
have not tried repeating it, but this could give people an interesting theory to work with.
