Use for R'lyeh void summons ?

I'm wondering why you used a shaman instead of a starspawn with 1 nature, or a jade sorceress, or a druid.

I couldn't seem to 'draw' an appropriate Starspawn, and the attempts were getting expensive. Just some lousy luck there. I didn't have access (at the time) to any other guaranteed nature-Users, so I went with what I had. It wan't so much a deliberate "let's use a lizardman!" choice as a "man, I can't keep shelling out 280 gold a pop" thing.

One would expect, however, to normally be able to get a Starspawn with nature magic a bit easier.

Just an FYI, if something has a probability of 5%, it does _not_ have an expected value of 20. IIRC, the standard Expected Value formula is .7/p, where p is the probability of the event. Therefore, if p=.05, then the Expected Value is 14. For p=.02, the EV should be 35.

(The Expected Value is the number of trials expected before a true result occurs.)
