Default Re: Need suggestions for my next game setup...

The Vampire Queen is the subject of much hype as of late. While certainly one of the most potent chassis available for selection, it is not, by any means, the only option. The VQ's base stats are slightly underwhelming, and it really takes good magic, good items, and preferrably both, to turn it into a beast. This means either the expenditure of much nation pointage or a lot of empowerments.

To avoid turning this into another flamefest on VQs, let's talk about something else now.

I happen to rather like the Vanheim Allfather as well. It's flying, far more invisible, has cheaper magic paths, and superior physical stats. It has Glamour, which gives it a potent starting mirror image the moment it enters the battle, helping to ward off against a flier rush. It already has a toehold in two potent magic paths, air and death, and has inexpensive paths at 30 points apiece.

So, let's get us some good stuff: Air, which is a potent magic path, say, 5 or 6. Earth, a nice magic path for stuff like ironskin, invuln, say, 2 or 3. Water, quickness, breath of winter: 2. And Astral, if you want, but if you go this route, put enough into it that you don't have "duel me" tattooed on your forehead too obviously.

Then blow the rest on some scales, preferrably order, and maybe a castle, if you want one.

Research some nice spells, mostly in Alteration, like Quickness, Mistform, Body Eth, personal Luck, etc. You've already got the Mirror Image free. Isn't that nice? Go kick some ***!
