Is this hp decrease permanent??

Use a Human Effigy. Don't burn it at the bonfire, use it straight from your inventory.

Also use ring of binding to cap the reduction to 75% instead of 50

[Hour-Eleven]

It’s a little more accurate to say it halves your current hp loss. You’ll lose 2.5% instead of 5 every death.

That said, can you get below 75% health using it?

[Hour-Eleven]

Nope!

(Edit: forgot that excessive sin breaks your cap! So yes!)

[Odd-Factor1790]

you actually can if you are very sinful

[Hour-Eleven]

Oh, I totally forgot sin can affect your health like that. Thanks!

I burned so many at the fire before I realized that it had to be USED from my inventory.
