2. Yes, they can be banished. But that's all. They cannot be fought or shot. And
you can go through pretty much any indies with six of them, which is two turns'
worth with average scales. As for massing, LoloMo threw 66 at me, and had 24
coming from the south. Heavy cavalry or elephants may kill one with some luck, but
if he is not one-shotted he heals himself, as his life drain is strength based, not
the toothless version. They have it all - defense, armour, regeneration, life
drain, thus no encumberance, and three attacks, the life drain getting a +2 boost.

I just think they badly need another way of being killed besides banishment.

3. Yes, I killed him with a earth random, veteran black priest with a crystal
shield, boots of earth power, a girdle of might, a shroud of the battle saint, and
five bodyguards over whom the vampire flew over. He ate 40 blades at point blank.
But that's a level 5 spell. A water or fire mage would have been defenseless, a
air mage or a priest would not have had the time to go through the hit points and
regeneration. No melee or range commander would have stood a chance. Please look
into him, and think about what it takes to stop him in an assassination.
