Thank you, [MENTION=4662]¬Rob[/MENTION]; for dying for Science 
You lost 30298973 EXP, which is 6.975%, or 93% of the 7.5% you should have lost if you only had Ambition.
This seems to indicate that the formula is
Ambition * (1 - CannoneerCard - UndeadPower) => in your case: 7.5 * (1 - 0.04 - 0.03) = 6.975
rather than
Ambition * (1 - CannoneerCard) * (1 - UndeadPower) => 7.5 * .96 * .97 = 6.984
Also, using the correct value of the EXP TNL for 183, gives exactly 7.05% lost with the rank B undead, which is what the top formula gives.
Seems the only thing that really matters if one wants to not lose too much EXP on dying, is Ambition.
The best a Cannoneer card can do is save you half a percent, and Monster Life about another half a percent (0.7% if you get an Ergoth and have no Ambition at all).
LF> volunteers with maxed Ambition (or close to it), to test the hypothesis that the minimum one can lose is 5%. (Someone mentioned it in another thread, but didn't have a link to a proof).
