So… Adventurer died while using Unstoppable.

[Delmuir]

I've rarely played Berserkers and not much success but I've head about the dominance of the Unstoppable skill so I decided to use it on an Adventurer.

This particular adventurer was extremely stout… few problems and no deaths.

I get into a little bit of trouble a random elite and while I could have just healed, I decided to test out Unstoppable so I used it… and immediately died.

Well, that was a disappointment. WTF?

I checked the log and the skill WAS active, and it definitely was 1 turn later that I died. Did I not understand the skill? Any guesses as to what's up?

It's a physical effect in 1.2.5 so maybe it was dispelled? What were you fighting?

There are few skills, which can instantly kill you, when you have low enough hp (in most case <20%). Examples: http://te4.org/wiki/Quantum_spike_(talent) http://te4.org/wiki/Death_blow_(talent)

on normal and nightmare you have 100% instadeth resist, which disappear on insane and madness. So when playing on insane and above you might be killed even when unstoppable.

Another way to die is removed effect of unstoppable by some skills like http://te4.org/wiki/Dissolving_acid_(talent)

I looked in the log for a dispelling effect but I didn't see one. Maybe I just missed it… but I figured that had to be it.

Sadly, I can't recall what I was facing… some Elite Ghoul in Dreadfell.

The Ghoul racial Retch has a chance to remove a physical effect each turn you stay standing in it.

Yeah, that one I was aware of as I play a lot of ghouls but it wasn't that.

[Furey]

Unstoppable is a mental effect. The only two skills in the game of which I am aware that could remove it are the Brawler's Combination kick and the Alchemist's dissolving acid.

So the elite ghoul you are facing either kicked you in the face and got rid of unstoppable, or you were standing in acid.

[cctobias]

alchemist rares can dispel Unstoppable with Dissolving Acid and have been able to do so since 1.3 and maybe earlier.

All Alchemists are an immediate Skill Check for an Unstoppable user and require extreme aggression and/or caution. If they have that ability.
