Question about Horrors

And when using GoR has 2 Misc Slots. Good enough for a AMA and a Ring of Regeneration.

So if summoned on a battlefield, do they kill everything until there is nothing left -- even your army if summoned by you? Then the only time you would ever want to summon one is if you would sacrifice your mage to kill a larger enemy army?

I'd go for unicorn pendant over AMA, it already has ridiculous MR. Why not negate half the hits that are going to get past its etherealness, to make it even harder to overcome regen and life drain?

even without slots, a doom horror still could destroy a huge force,something equal to 120HI..

my favorite is a lucky pendant and a rockybird/dancing fork ^^

Well, the chance of losing it to a soul slay goes from around 4% to around 1% if you raise the magic resistance to 24. It probably is a matter of determining what your enemies can do to counter it, since you've spent at least a hundred astral pearls to wish for it, and 20 nature gems to make it a commander, not counting the empowerment costs to get there.

That's what blood vengeance is for. Casting a spell on hit will cause your own unit the damage if it fails a magic resist check against a penetration bonus of 2. If it does get hurt, it can heal itself back up against non-lifeless targets with lifedrain. Put an amulet of antimagic and a regeneration item on it for good measure.

By attack i didn't literally mean ATTACK. I meant a spell.

That doesn't matter. Blood vengeance reflects spells as well, including ritual spells. It's part of the description that it will act against damage, regardless of the distance to the person causing it.

The only thing I'm not sure about is if it reflects instant death effects such as soul slay and mind duel.
