Thanks, Saber Cherry.
This is good to know. I'm surprised these rolls are not open-ended as all the other rolls in Dominions are, and that would give lower-astral folks a small chance to survive attack.
I can also see why folks advise to take at least 6 astral with your pretender.
And I can also see the wisdom of using communions. Pythium would be an awful nation to face with a SC astral pretender.
And using astral duel as an automatic defense tool would be dangerous as well depending on whether the attacker had a crystal matrix.
Suitable complex.
