Hey, even if it's unintentional, it's still a fun feature. I do wonder though, what kind of commander died to give those paths?

Yes, it does have to be one of the funnest bugs I can recall in any game. Fortunately it's really rare, so I'd say it's a contribution rather than a problem.

Ah, so she's in fact a reincarnation of a Tien Chi heroine? I never saw her Tien Chi analogue, so I wouldn't know.

The original Tien Chi hero was good old Mr. Master of the Iron Crutch himself, the disease-spreading hero that everyone loves to hate.

Iron Crutch is a great mage, but stories abound of "Augh! Iron Crutch diseased my pretender/best mage/other hero/etc".

I just experienced my own "reincarnation" moment: A commander named Bifrons, perhaps the same as the Ice Devil, got reincarnated....as a Vampire! He came apparently empowered, too, with S4/W3 as his magic paths, which is two astral empowerments above his base....AND he came with three items, a Starshine, a Crystal Coin, and a Water Bracelet.

How cool is that? He came with bonus magic, bonus items, AND came on a chassis that doesn't suck!

The combination of items sounds exactly like it would give the "empowered" combination (the base is S2/W2 IIRC). What you mean to say is that items were on top of that, i.e that he had S6/W4 with items?

That's right, Chief. Bifrons is normally W3/S2, BTW. The reincarnated vampire came with S6/W4, including his equipped items....meaning that he had been empowered twice in Astral as well. Pretty sweet.

Or maybe as part of the bug, his stats including items became his base stats when he died.

And why would anyone give an ice devil a water bracelet?
