PoD vs. VQ vs. Liches (was: Blood Arco mod)

Finally, an issue about the Prince of Death. I think, with the changes to the VQ, that the PoD is going to emerge as a new contender for her crown. While he's neither ethereal nor immortal, he has twice the base hit points, a much better Fear effect, a good base protection, a much less base cost (100 points goes a long way), and no superfluous magic (I've never heard of anyone using a SC VQ for her Blood magic).

Prince of Death is good, but a poor choice for Arco (if you leave them with priestesses). They're going to pick up afflictions and the only way to fix that is with Gift of Health or a Chalice. Pick any living commander and you don't have to worry about that.
