I wouldn't focus a bless strategy around them unless you plan on forging some Black Hearts.

Black Hearts give stealth?! I had no idea there was an iem in the game that gave stealth!

Not that i know of but maybe it does.

I thought it gave stealth and assassination.

no, it gives assasination to already stealthy commanders (or we would have stealthy golems, niefel jarls and tartarians)

I guess so. That's kind of lame though still.

Not really, it means you can make assasins out of things like harvesters of sorrow, specters, van commadners, heliophagi ect.

Only assassination. Lord Warden Assassins might be worth some kind of a bless, though. Fire 4 would help, and any Death could be nasty.

The problem is iirc Lord wardens dont have priestly powers.

Ah, that's true. They couldn't bless themselves. They could make fine assassins (starting with a crossbow AND a greatsword is nice), but probably not good enough to make a Black Heart strategy feasible.

You could make one a prophet. That's not something I would build a pretender around. There's always being lucky and finding an indy blood mage, which can be difficult but not impossible and certainly not reliable, but for a solid raiding squad a Warden prophet could lead them.

I think there's better options for LA Man though than having one super bless raiding squad as the thing you'd be building towards and relying on to win the game, but the option's always there with a moderate bless too.
