Default Re: On the effective early use of Pretenders in combat

Yeah, Black Steel Plate would do the trick... but who else besides Ulm has that as option in the early going?

Well through alchemy many races have quick access (by turn 5), although she will have to do the crafting. But it's not a bad thing to have her be a little of an earth mage too, more protection.

With a suit of armor and against indies inside your own dominion, this is not a problem... but if your expansion can't exceed your own dominion spread, how much advantage are you really getting over other SC pretenders?
I think you should try her out a little. Unless the dominion is quite negative there are very few independents that can take her. I know that I dismissed her due to her hit points. My mistake!

What do you equip him with to allow him to survive against those nasty independent defences in the water realms (at higher independent strengths)? Black plate I guess is a possibility. But it would be a killer on the encumberance side for him.

Further talking about the VQ having a weakness since she is undead, he is a magical being and that means that there are some weapons (hello moonblades) which will kill him pretty quick.
