Re: What are your favorite combat items to forge?
Question about Crystal Shield . I put one on my Fire 2/Blood 3 prophet and it is supposed to add one to each path but as I read the description closer it said for battle only. Doh! Anyways, how does one plan out tactical spell usage for someone with that thing on? It will not list the extra spells in the cue for battle so I can't plan ahead for the extra paths. Am I just at the mercy of the computer on that one? Thanks in advance for any answers.

The crystal shield adds 1 to the levels that your mage already has. This will make him a fire 3, blood 4, holy +1 mage in battle. You are able to script any spell that your mage has a chance to cast in battle. The ones that you can't cast without some kind of boost are grayed out, but can still be selected.

I make as many dragon helms as I can. Very handy for commanders that are going to just stand in the back. And skulls to summon undead.
The misc items that fight for themselves I like to add to my important mages. saves paying support for bodyguards.
All fo the above are also very handy for assassins

Etheral Crossbow. In a multi it's the ultimate pretender killer in the hands of a skilled marksman.

Re: What are your favorite combat items to forge?
Personally, I'm a bit partial to the Bow of War, especially if they already have decent Precision or the Heroic bonus. Not the greatest weapon in the world, and it's two-handed. But it's friggin' awesome after throwing in Fire arrows, Wind Guide, and Arrow Fend.

There's a MR save to avoid the damage, so it's actually no more dangerous than soul slay. It's advantage is that it's cheap to make and can be given to many commanders instead of what might be a rare astral 3 mage for your nation.

BTW, does Bloodthorn cause less damage (and therefore healing less health and fatique) than Wraith Sword? I assume it does, but I would like to confirm it.
