In the original Wizard, both characters would die in a tie, since they would both be brought down to zero ST (which, in the original rules meant death). So, I'd keep the outcome the same: they both die.

Just to be clear, Shostak, that bolded part would only help in the ST test and temporarily after receiving damage, right? Joe Aids himself with ST 5, so now he's at ST 11 and casts Death against an ST 10 foe, killing him and bringing Joe down to ST 1. The spell wears off, and Joe's at ST -4.
I ask because I think I misread that part at first.
