Yet Another Cursed Newbie

And of course, you still need to hit the cursed commander for the curse to do anything.

This to me is the key point. My Nataraja got cursed by a spell, but since he has defence 40 (base 13 + 5 exp + 3 quickness + 3 from chain of displacement + 16 from 4 swords of swiftness) it doesn't really matter. As Arco I get to heal his afflictions anyway ...

I have had mages killed by horrors before though. If you've got a horror marked mage you need to make sure it is scripted to cast something that will kill a horror. SCs can usually deal with horrors with conventional magic weapons. I do love swords of swiftness - 2 attacks and 4 defence - why would you use anything else ....
