Possible way out of the V.Q. Problem

[Slygar]

I really really think the VQ needs to cost more and have a way higher path cost.

I was going to put a bunch of comparisons here, but you guys probably know what everything is anyways. Just ask yourselves which you *really* fear more: A father of serpents, a Titan, or a Cyclops (which all cost *more* than a VQ, in case you forget) or.. a VQ. Or, just open up the Lich and compare it to the VQ, which costs the same. No stealth, no etherealness, no flight, no regeneration, no free ethereal flying commander killing hippies. Oh yeah, you get -2 lesser fear instead of -4. Whee.

The fact that a VQ is killable does not make it balanced or reasonably priced. I have played using nearly all pretenders, and the VQ is definately the strongest I have found. Yes, there are ways to kill them in MP (the Ai is horrid at it) but they are still way tougher than their cost would show. I say 175 for the chassis, 60 path cost. All those goofy plans to balance it by changing it around seem kind of pointless.

Incidentally, why is the Master Lich so much crappier than the Lich? I think their stats got reversed..
