LA r'lyeh - Dual Prophets

[chrispedersen]

I'm not sure you should say "just" H3 priests.

There are many nice tricks I like about LA-R. Summon up black servents. Leave them sitting in dominion. They go crazy, and make themselves prophets.

Now they can reanimate.

Not to mention they make great smiters. And while they don't spread dominion as a prophet - they can be used to preach and spread dominion... almost half the time.

And the same trick can be used for almost anything...... Trolls are another good choice, because once they become the prophet their upkeep is halved.....

Finally, you can combine this with reasonable blesses to kit out thugs. Personally I like N4-9F4W4 but a W9N4 can also be useful. Most of R.'s freespawns sacreds are *slow*.

I thought prophets had no upkeep at all.

True, they don't. But I've never been sufficiently interested in the math to determine if they count as true prophets for no upkeep or just sacred half upkeep. So I said half upkeep to make it on the safe side!

Prophets are Blessed, not Sacred. I think Blessed (i.e. Shroud) doesn't halve upkeep.
