Well I wasnt really focusing on damien himself. More of a REALLY high leveled enemy. And if you know how to avoid/block you wouldnt get a REALLY high number of stats reduced. Even if it is annoying, its not as annoying as having to re-load or work your way through a maze as a ghost. May not be the best way of reviving but I hate saving every 2 minutes because I might die of a stupid mistake.

I also forgot to mention about how if you have a sheild equipped it will float behind your charcter not even on him. I hate using a sheild because of that (this has nothing to do with the respawning mentioned above.)

Yet another thing is that if you spam jumping you can get to your destination faster. Need to make it so the jumping distance is equal to your run speed.
