I have found myself using immobiles lately. The Void Lurker of R'lyeh is about the best pretender they can get, and i still think that scales are rather important. He gets two attacks, is ethereal and has a poison cloud effect(iirc) and costs hefty 0 points.

But i do find it srange that Oracles can't scry...

Their archmage is also zero points, but can be used to sitesearch underwater... or with an amulet of fish, on land, too. Not a bad deal! The disadvantages are weak astral and low HP (assassination, seeking arrow).

But who cares how many attacks an immobile pretender gets? I really don't see that as ever being important.

R'lyeh gets mages with randoms and has a great acces to Acashic Record. The 0-cost Archmage is weak, starts with weak dominion, you'll have to pay yourself sick to get 2 in all the paths, and if you want more, you pay more wich drains design points that are sorely needed for scales and dominion strength. RB's seem to be even more weaker than they were in Dom I... Too bad, i realy love RB's.

OTOH, i constantly use RB's with vanilla Ulm.

The amount of attacks(or lack of them) with a immobile pretender is quite important because the immobile pretender can defend itself from the enemy attacks if he has attacks(apart from spells). The Void Lurker even gets a poison cloud effect(iirc)!
