The Sigil of Pious Protection is a tier 3 combat Deadman Mode sigil. It is an attunable sigil that decreases damage taken from attacks by 35% when using the correct protection prayer for that combat style, but increases damage taken by 5% if using the wrong protection prayer. The damage reduction gained from the sigil scales multiplicatively with the damage reduction gained from a protection prayer.[1]

In Deadman: Annihilation, the un-attuned version can be purchased from the skull shop. It can be activated by clicking Attune. Up to three attunable sigils can be attuned at once. Duplicate sigils can be sold back to the skull shop by using them on the deadman's skull.

In past Deadman Mode events, the un-attuned version was dropped by most monsters (via the Deadman Mode drop table) and was tradeable on the Grand Exchange.

    "Hi all I was curious if there is a clarification on if Sigil of Pious protection is additive or multiplicative with protection prayers, e.g. would ruinous overheads cause you to have: 40%+35%=75% DR, or (40)*(35)=~61% DR? (...)" (screenshot)
