That would be cool! Would it be possible to have a zombie form derived from your stats? (Like zombie of female tourist -> Pent the zombie of human?) And permanent polymorph would be interesting even for other stuff, I think (permapoly = polyvictory

).
Anyway, what if AoRD transformed any damage you take that would reduce your HP under 1 you into END damage?
E.g. You have 3HP in torso, you get hit with 5 damage. You end up with 1HP and your END is reduced by 3. Next round, you are hit with 3 damage, but as you have only single HP, all the damage goes to END, reducing it by 3. Your END cannot be reduced under 0, so you die if you are hit while on 0 END.
