No, he said fatigued *and* gets hit - most combat spellcasters go to some lengths to avoid being hit, so it would be consistent.

His other point was very good too - a high morale, non-berserk SC should not be any more likely to rout if his/her/its troops do, than if it has no troops.

IMHO this needs patching quite urgently - a shrewd Bane Lord or Ice Devil absolutely depends on taking a load of chaff into combat with him, knowing full well that they will all die. It's an essential part of his victory plan and should be allowed ..... ;-)
