				 Re: Dev Thinking on Balance? 
 
	IMHO you exaggerate your case.  How are you getting 18+ attack and defense without equipment?  How do you manage to cast invulnerability, quickness, several damage shields, and 3 elemental immunities?Quote:

Add an armor piercing life drain attack which heals HPs + restores fatigue whenever she damages an enemy and you have an enemy that regains health faster than you can damage her.  The VQ is not a game breaker but she does give more power for the points than any other pretender.

 Even then, what you describe isn't so incredibly potent (nor even IMHO the best way to field a VQ).
 Other pretenders easily surpase this power, in particular due to much higher hitpoints, double her strength, and better attack/defense.
 
 The VQ queen's strength isn't her brutishness, but rather her flexibility.  Regeneration, enc 0, cold immunity, poison immunity, immortal, ethereal, flying, and stealthy.
