Magic resistance negates, so it depends totally on the MR of the target. The only other way that I know of for BE Ermor to get an unholy 4 priest is the sword of injustice.

It's for Apostacy, right? Then, bar communion you can also try:

- Ring of Wizardry.

- Crystal Shield.

- Power of the Spheres.

- Suiciding an heroic prophet, and calling him back with Ritual of Rebirth after you've appointed his successor.

BTW, instead of gaining extra unholy levels you can try grabing extra death magic with Twiceborn'ed candidates to 'suicide' missions - a bargain at 10 death gems when compared to empowerment. And I'm not even talking about the benefit of having a tougher, upkeep-free mage. ;-)

Something else I've noted is that BE Ermor CAN get Holy priests, it's just hard. Random Celebrants, for example, come in as Holy. Does anyone know if Summoned Holy Priests come in as Holy or not? Also, are there any Summonable Holy 4 Priests? I doubt it, but just thought I'd check...

Having Forged the Sword of Injustice in a Test game, and having given it to an Unholy-4 Priest, I checked their Reanimation. It lists Wights, but gets Lictors (3 of them). I was sort of hoping for Archers, considering the difficulty of getting it, but oh well.

That is the standard reanimation for an unholy 5 Ermorian priest (other than soul gate).

Now if only BE had a cheap communicant, I might play them more.

Well, I like that they get Astral and Death. Kinda disappointed in their mage quality, but it could be worse.

The main plus for me is the idea that I get Death magic, a Growth scale, and access to Blood magic. That's just really nice, as a set. I don't think anyone can do Undead-patrolled Blood hunting like BE Ermor.

They don't get cheap communicants, but OTOH they all get Nether spells, which are powerful, and with a large enough communion, they can all apostacize.
