Their Censer (516) looks nice, it has an area-1 Incense (517) effect that according to the DB is damage 10,AN, no MR.

But while the incense graphics appear in battle, it doesn't appear to do any damage:

The Censer killed one barbarian in the square with the hit, but there were two others, and they didn't get affected at all.

Does it only work against undead or demons or something?

The problem with the Gadols unit is that you will often end up diseasing or poisoning yourself, or units with you. I prefer to make sure these units dont end up in combat - or - replace their weapon with another.

That being said.. a D9 bless is... interesting.
