Default Re: Better Know a (Bad) Pretender: the Terrible Three

Sleeping Manticore should use Alt. 3 spells instead of/with items. Say A2 Mant. can cast mistform and go to party against indie chaff.

Awake Manticore is owned big time by the Wyrm. Well, perhaps it can be more useful on maps where flight is extremely important that don't have lots of water provinces, but even then I'd probably go with the Wyrm. Another annoying aspect of the Mant. is that even if it stays alive it tends to accumulate afflictions like crazy.
I can see it used with dom 10 and no paths with a priestly nation (so losing it every once in a while doesn't hurt that much)
