You're supposed to take a d4 damage at the defeat of a Henchman. Instead, you get it constantly. I can't even name all the triggers which will bring it forth, but right now I succeeded in gaining a Shield of Acid Resistance. i had to bury it, as per the wildcard, then I for some reason needed to take 4 points of force damage (a d4, which of course rolled 4. Not enough to just roll for damage for succeeding on a shield you can't really use - gotta be MAX damage at that to really rub salt in the wound).

 

There are others, I think just killing a monster sometimes does it. very broken, very unplayable.

Reported here, along with the triggers (its the wildcard rules).

 

And its Force damage, not Combat damage, which most armor cant partially absorve (you need to banish/bury).

Yup this is a known issue that has been reported. Anytime a wildcard condition would be satisfied it triggers. The best you can hope for is wildcards that increase checks or decrease the blessings deck.

As reported in the other thread, we have fixed the issue and it will be in the next patch!

Great news, while the game has had it's share of bugs, none have been game-stopping for me and I love how the devs have been making such quick updates. Clearly Obsidian is committed to this game, which is great.
