While life draining is prevalent enough to limit the weapons and SC's you might use, I am afraid that nerfing it will greatly weaken SCs overall. I realize that lately, there has been an influx of people who want the game to be more focused on national troops but I am certainly not one of them...I have always liked the evolution of the game from national troops to a combination to a majority of SCs.

Is it your intention to nerf SC's, overall, or are you planning to keep the same balance in some other way ? And I am not talking bane lords who, as you pointed out, can be used cost efficiently as thugs with their starting weapon, but the more expensive SCs.

I realize that making them more expensive and/or having higher path requirements doesn't make them impossible to use or useless (how do I know someone will say that?) but making them less accessible or less prevalent does clearly alter an overall balance (that I already like) if there is no plan to improve them in some other way.
