My wife argees with you.

My record for afflictions is 9, sounds like you are on the way to beating it.

Hmm, let me see if I still have the replay from when I discovered the Crystal Heart bug... of course, the target in that battle wasn't inanimate, so wasn't eligible for some afflictions such as lost head.

Diseased
Lost one eye
Lost the other eye
Weakened
Chest wound
Never Healing Wound
Mute
Feeble Minded
Lost an arm

...oddly, despite dying hundreds of times he never got Battle Fright. Maybe gods are immune?

Edit: also, he didn't get limp or crippled, probably because he is mounted. So if you really want to see all the possible afflictions, give a crystal heart to an ordinary commander on foot and let him take a province by himself. You might need something to help you kill them faster after becoming blind, one-armed and feebleminded: I suggest a damage aura like rime hauberk. Snake bladder stick + snake ring might work too, I don't know if the poison cloud appears even if you miss.

BTW, is the leadership reduction from Mute cumulative with that from Feeble Minded? The god in the above example had normal leadership 4 (no undead or magic leadership). I don't remember what's normal for a freak lord though.

Cast Gift of Health. Your poor Golum will thank you.

It really shouldn't work on inanimate and undead units (and possibly not on demons). Illwinter?

BTW - I hope that when you lose a head, you also lose the eyes and mouth in it (assuming, of course, that inanimate beings still use their eyes to see and their mouths to speak).
