That threw me for a loop, so I ran a few tests. Pazuzu, one of the Demon Lords, who doesn't even have a head still has a head protection rating. A GoR'd and empowered Vastness casting Ironskin also has one, despite it not having an anatomy to begin with.

I think it's safe to say everyone has a head. Even when they don't.

Strange. He has 10 AP before Quickening Song. He shows 10 AP afterwards also (how can I know if he is quickened?)
But he tramples only one square most of the time, sometimes two.
Can trample be repelled?
If he still had 10 AP, he probably didn't get quickened. An Ivy King with Boots of Quickness has 20AP. But then, Quickening song doesn't give Quickness. It gives Haste, which cuts the AP needed to move into a square by half. Possibly this doesn't not include trampling attacks ?

That being said, an Ivy King with Stymphalian Wings and Boots of Quickness only seems to trample 2/3 squares per turn rather than the 8/10 I would have expected. So evidently I'm missing something.

So Stymphalian Wings (flying AND trampling) are really only for Enc=0 units.
Yup. And large ones at that (because trampling damage is based on size differential). So Golems and Bane Lords, pretty much.

Summoning or casting from inside the dome is OK, it's any rituals cast from outside the dome into it that get stopped (including, say, one of your armies trying to Gate in). Doubt it affects seductions (or immortals popping back into existence for example), since they are not rituals per se.
