Hmm, did I miss something ? 8 slaves = +3 to paths + 1 starting = 4 and petrify requires E5 iirc.

You could use gems but then you don't even need 8 and I mentioned that already

You are forgeting a little spell called Summon Earthpower. It good for your communion slaves as well. 1 random + 3 from 8 slaves + 1 from SEP =5

Try 6 quickened archs casting Enslave with 2-4 penetration (that's 12 MR checks per round with a 2-4 mod). I have picked up many SC's and national heroes that way (though mostly as Arco).

Yeap, it's nice, but enslave mind render all these SC and national heroes mostly useless by stripibng them of commnader status and all their items/abilities.

*Depends on what you are facing* (think i mentioned that twice now). Enslave, I don't know, say a tarrasque and see if it is useless. Sure, its not as good as summoning one yourself...but, gemwise, it's free

Charm is dandy but your penetration is going to be worse and most of your mages, remember we are talking Pythium here, can't cast it at all so I would hardly say that was a good replacement.

- Kel [/qb][/quote]Hmm does Charm really has lower MR check than Enslave? Do you have some hard numbers?
