Pretender Design

[Ctennyson]

For item slots, on an SC, since that seems your focus here, do you value any slots higher than others? For example, the Nataraja gets 4 hand slots, and by proxy, more attacks, of course, also more encumbrance/fatigue, than for example, a Titan. Titan gets the additional misc slot, and misc items are definitely handy. Cavalry are missing boots, generally not my favorite item, but flying boots/earth boots/boots of stone are good, depending on build, also. Its obviously a series of tradeoffs, and it changes from race to race, I guess, depending on Arco priestesses, and the like.

I know the question is awfully broad. Its hard to pin down, though. I kinda feel its best to run an SC with ... softer troops, and a rainbow when your troops are, as the English say, dead 'ard.

I wonder about stuff like the Bog Mummy, though. Its tough, its got fair magic paths, but it isnt super tough, and it isnt super good at casting. I've tried the Vamp Queen, and she was ok, but nothing terribly thrilling. I've had more success with the GK than with anything else, regardless of race, but I am pretty much sick of him.
