I modeled my recruitable Taken off of Wraith Lords: immortal, undead, mage-generals. Stats as of now:

hp 30, st 15, enc 0, att 13, def 13, prec 13, mr 15, mor 15, fear 1, regen 10, gcost 300, fire/unholy 4/3, standard 20, immortal, undead. Expertleader, okmagicleader, goodundeadleader.

A big difference tween WL and Taken are Taken are not Ethereal, but have better armor (black steel full plate, helmet, shield). Taken have a mace, while WL have Bane Blades. WL have more hits. Taken have unholy 3--which is a big change, and one I am observing the effects of.

Another big difference would be the regen 10 on the Taken, and the fact that they only cost 300 gold as opposed to the 40 death gems [and one turn action from a good death leader] you need for Wraith Lords.

Niefel Jarls, the most individually powerful recruitable leaders at this time, cost 500 gold - and while they have twice the hitpoints of your Taken, they are neither immortal nor do they regenerate.

Double the cost to 600d, or set it to 666d as that seems appropriate to their level of strength

At a mere 300d, I could see myself buying almost exclusively Taken, equipping them with Dragon Helmet/Fire Scale to give them protection from fire, a reinvigoration item or two, and orders to bLast away. Hey, they have precision 13, which is unheard off in fire mages elsewhere, so why not use it to the fullest.
