Deathbringer Assault

Deathbringer Assault is an innate passive ability that is "always on" available to Sarevok Anchev in the Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal game versions. This ability is linked to Sarevok's deathbringer class. 
The ability is initiated via the Sarevok creature file internal assigned effect script using Opcode 248 "Set Melee Effect". Any melee attack that connects with a target has a probability of applying the innate spell effect on that target. Any type of melee attack that hits can initiate the chance to trigger the effects of the ability. This would include a fist attack, dagger thrust or any other melee blow.
When any melee attack successfully hits, there are two different and separate effects that can occur. Both effects will not occur simultaneously. The first is a 10% chance of a Stun, where the target creature is allowed a save vs. spell with a -4 penalty to negate it. If not, the stun effect has a duration of 2 rounds. It can't be dispelled. A combat screen text message displays "Stunned" if the save is missed.
The other ability has a 3% probability of affecting the target. When that occurs a text message displays on the combat screen indicating "Deathbringer Assault". The effect applies 200 Slashing damage to the target (regardless of what type of melee weapon hit the target).
Both of these effects are not affected by Magic resistance, spell protections such as Globe of Invulnerability, Spell Turning, Spell Immunity or Spell Shield.
A Stoneskin would block the slashing damage, and any sort of slashing damage resistance could mitigate it.
Some creatures that are designed to be protected against this innate ability (not just the damage that prompts the message "Deathbringer Assault", the stun as well) are provided with the SAREVIMM.ITM.
