The following is a list of attributes you will develop the less lifeforce you have: - Major weakness to fire damage as your comfort with the sacred flame diminishes - Resistance to cold damage - Resistance to asphyixation damage - Resistance to poison damage - Resistance to electric damage - Reduced intelligence - Additional strength Additionally, you will no longer suffer the effects of less natural healing that applies when you have lost blood.
