I am not sure you are doing your pretenders a favor, unless they
have life drain. A Ghost King who casts five buffs is pretty much
a given with Ulm, and I think that he is much better off without
the armour, what with the -5 to defense and the 50 points of
additional fatigue it brings.

A Vampire queen may benefit from the armour, but after the nerf, she
is not worth fielding.
