Doom Horror v Seraph

[K]

He empowered. He has a S9, which is base 4, Forbidden Light for +2, magical power for +1, so he needs two more empowers to get his 9 (unless this is a battle pic and he did Northern Lights and Power of the Spheres).

The background pretty much says that it's not in a battle.

[Tuidjy]

K, with the Forbidden light, one ring, a cap and a robe, you get +5 to the base 4.
You do not have to empower, and maybe he did not. We can't tell for sure.

[Zenzei]

But this particular seraph, according to the screenshots, only has Forbidden Light, which leaves three levels of astral magic unaccounted for.

[Xietor]

she was empowered to s6 then wished for magical power. And she also wished for power.

We can. He's S9 in the pic and his equipment is +2 Astral, and he's obviously Wished for magic power once since he's got one in everything Seraphs don't get (and 5s in the two things they do get hast aren't Astral).

Just saying.

I would take out the vine shield and replace it with a luck shield, hence the seraph will have luck outside of combat as well. Also the seraph won't need to spend a turn casting luck during battle. The luck shield will help more against any human strategies to kill it, yet this might be a SP game.

i am not sure luck helps outside of combat. in particular, i have never seen a mind hunt fail because of luck.

It does not effect mind hunt... and humans wouldn't be using mind hunt on an astral mage anyways.

Luck helps on many other types of spells in combat and outside of combat. Why spend a combat turn casting a spell of luck when the seraph can be chopping heads with the fire brand.
