I think Pythium communicants are a special case. You can test it, but I wouldn't assume other no magic (or different path) slaves get less fatigue.

Can anyone confirm that slaves act if their turn comes before the masters? I've never noticed this. I would expect to see slaves casting fairly frequently, until they fall asleep at least. But I don't use communions often.
There are known weirdnesses with quickness.

This could be nicely exploitable with an SC. Allowing him to self buff, as well as get buffs from the master.
