What Are the Drawbacks of High Misfortune?

Because turning a commander into a prophet who has H0-H2 raises him to H3. Turning a commander who is H3 into a prophet gives him H4, and the ever elusive fanaticism which is quite good in large battles.

Basically there's no reason to convert a H1-H2 priest into a prophet when you could just do it with a commander, or a scout, or some one else.

OK, that makes sense. I never really looked that closely at it, and I'd assumed that making someone a prophet just increased H by 1.

I've only been playing the demo so far, and just ordered the full game yesterday. Once I have the manual to look at, I should know these things.

It happens, capnq.

As for Endo's comment, I've actually seen the Ulmish Commanders knock themselves out if prophetized, simply due to the very high Spellcasting encumbrance of his gear. Otoh, he's very durable, and his only real job is to cast Sermon of Courage.

So it goes...

Problem is that NOTHING is very durable at 100 fatigue. =)
