Hey that's another good idea - thanks. As soon as I can spare 250gp I'll get one. I already have a water bracelet or two. Little chance of them getting hero status though, with my priests having >100 kills each.
Why is Life Drain so good? Surely it doesn't kill things as fast as high damage (esp. if AP like the fire brand)? If my SCs have high prot and luck, surely they don't get hit often enough to make LD worth while? Or does LD add to hp above max??
