The part about having to be living to take advantage of reinvigoration is incorrect. Bane Lords get the benefit of that.

Personally though, I do not see the rainbow armor's prot value as what i would like for a banelord thug.

Where did I say that you have to be living to take advantage of it? It just happens to be useless on a guy who has 0 encumberance for melee attacks and won't be casting spells.

What about Jade Armor, so you can leave off the boots of quickness, and go ahead and equip flying boots? That's the way I've always kitted them out.

I often go that way too but sometimes theres something nice you would like on their body/you dont have access to jade armour.

Parcelt,

I tried out a Wraith Lord last night. They really are pretty amazing. If you have not tried one, I highly recommend it.

I sent him off on what I thought was a suicide mission so I could look at the death bonus. He cast Soul Vortex and ended up gaining hit points throughout the battle, rather than losing them. The enemy eventually fled and I had an undersea province I was not expecting. Great fun, try them out!

Sounds good!

I don't have wraith lords yet but only a few turns away. Are they amphibious too or did you give him some item so he could go underwater?

What paths do you need for Soul Vortex?

I just tried wraith lords a few days ago. Even with soul vortex they kept getting killed but they just return to the capital and I can send them out again. They were collecting afflictions but I don't know if it mattered, I got a dominion win soon after I started using them.

Soul Vortex is pretty high level, Alteration I think.

IIRC Soul vortex is a level 6-7 alteration spell requiring 3 levels of death magic(which wraithlords have).
What were your wraithlords dying to Loren?

I don't remember.

I'm thinking that the Soul Vortexes bleed each other's health also.
