Ravage health potions saved my stones

Now not everyone might agree with this, but just to justify crafting Ravage Health potions, I have figured out the usefulness potential of this potion: So when I was in IC (Imperial City) I was in stealth mode-- alone (probably not the best idea), I noticed a group of AD (I'm in DC) coming towards my direction, in fear of loosing the stones I have collected so far, I sprinted away and remembered I have some Ravage Health potions in my quick slots for some reason, so I decided to run into the nearest Deadric mobs, drink the potion and commit suicide. lol.

Yes, you still loose some percentage of your stones, but I figured that it would be better than loose all my stones.

Disclaimer: I am not sure if players from other alliances can get your stones if they hit you and you die to Deadric mobs. I wasn't hit at all during the said "encounter".

    They've made slaughter fish nastier as well. I think there are going to be plenty of people diving into the water around the IC to commit fishicide sushicide* to get to the relative safety of a wayshrine. This is what lootable Telvar stones has created -- finding "safe" ways to die. Congrats, ZOS!

    *Thanks to @Moonshadow66 for the correct term!

    Wouldn't it have been more practical to just try to move out of their way since they didn't see you anyway? lol

    Yeah, that would have been better. I was in this alley where (at that time, and admittedly I panicked) the only option I could think of was to die to a mob. lol.

    To answer your disclaimer, yes they do. If you die, all an enemy has to do is damage you (any amount) and they get credit.

    Keep in mind that just 1 damage tick from enemy player is enough for it to count as player-kill.

    But when will be ravage potions in the crown store? The rich want to depart to the other world with their stones too, without hassle of collecting poisonous plants.

    Wait, I thought the person getting the killing blow got the majority of the Stones... is it set up that you literally only need to do 1 HP's worth of damage to get a decent share of the Stones? So it's split evenly among those who did any damage as opposed to those doing more damage getting more Stones?
