I feel like perhaps it would be better to make it protection-ignoring Dark bonus damage instead, for various edge cases. Thoughts?

I feel as though the numbers might have to be tweaked a bit given that dark res and global DRs exist but I could at least see it being a thing.

Personally, I don't think Life Drain to be a problem due to the reason that only extremely specific builds tend to make it oppressive (usually the high level Charm build, normally done with the Lovely Face trait.)

Other than that, it feels and seems just okay? I think it would be better to make it so you can't Life Drain 0 HP people and gain the full heal from it.

I.E I have 50 WIL, life drain someone with 0 HP left and get 50 HP.

I'd rather it just not drain excess HP in general, to be honest.

The issue here is that it doesn't fix the issues presented in the original post, in that it can ignore death-saving abilities such as last chance and certain boss mechanics like Black Barrier, Immortality, Feathered Serpent's passive.

I think that it can even sorta target corpses is a bit of a bug regarding that you're not supposed to be able to do anything to unconscious people in a fight to begin with.
