[Fate]

I have been playing a bit, and I strongly believe the temple guard should be cap-only. As evidence I list it against some other cap-only MA sacreds:

Temple Guard (Itza)

16HP 15Prot 8(4)Def

*=cap-only

The temple guard are the cheapest (in resources AND gold), have the most health, and the second best protection. They also retain respectable defense and MR. They have the highest attack (even compared to the 2-handed wielding Lictor) and they make up for their low attack with magic weapons and a bonus bite. To top it all off they have the lowest Encumberance (even compared to Daoine Sidhe).

Admittedly, none of the nations I compared them to are *Bless* nations per se, but these are their cap-only sacreds! At least raise the Gcost to 30. Even better, raise the Rcost to 20 (that is more in line with their protection, even if it isn't becuase of armour).

And considering that the nation has sacreds in every path, even B1 sacreds for the bloodhunters to summon, they don't need a build-anywhere sacred to maintain their sared forces. So please make the Temple Guard Cap-only.
