*Damage to self is based on actual physical damage, not potential physical damage: attacking an [[Immune to Physical]] target results in no damage to self; if 1,000 physical damage can be applied but it only takes 100 physical damage to kill the target, damage to self is 8, not 80.

*It is safest to assume that maximum life is effectively reduced by 8% of maximum physical damage, and best to minimise the range between minimum and maximum physical damage.
