You took the words out of my mouth! I can only have one prophet, I certainly don't wish to waste it on some lowly scout....

Having said that, I understand the strategic points you all explain very well --- thanks. I appreciate the point that I'm wasting a mage's magic talents on a guy who should be blessing. (And I thought I was supposed to "use" the Prophet's extra dom hit points to make him aggressive in battle, so again I was looking for a more significant guy.)
