Default Re: Tartanians

When you don't have the chalice, GoH or the ultra rare healing site tartarians aren't that good, due to their afflictions.

To get a tartarian not blind not feebleminded with his two arms etc... you may have to summon a few.

And 4/5 cost 30 gems with the GoR (and more if you had to empower someone / forge big boosters for one or the other spell).

In fact my complaint with tartarians is they are a little too much random. For 50 gems you may get 5 SCs already commanders with good magic and no terrible affliction in 5 casts, you may get the same but need 100 nature to exploit them...but you may also simply have 5 blind-feebleminded giant meatshields.

In extreme luck or unluck cases, the randomness of tartarian summoning may decide who wins in a tied endgame.

I'd like to see a way to make this less random (ie : scales influence, fewer feebleminded in magic scale, chances to have commanders based on luck, etc) ; or a ritual-buff spell (like dragon master) for tartarian summoners not to summon more tartarians but to have more chances to get usefull ones.
