How to mod Angels to not be wimps.

[Huzurdaddi]

you look at the *other* Angel-type guy, the Harbinger ? Horn = AoE 5 attack str 5AP, x3 vs devils, this could kill 12 devils in 2 rounds !! Guy costs 25 pearls, not that expensive.

I take it you have not tried this. I have. They do not work. I had a thread about it some time ago. I figure that the horn has an MR check it's the only way I can explain the total non-factor that is the horn of the harbringer. It's useless. Does nothing. Zip. Clearly you should try things before claiming that they fix everything.

You also didn't account for the double attacks of the Devil and the paralytic poison of the tail

I know it was bad enough just with what I was showing. I did not want to make it seem like I was piling on. Of course that is how it works in game.

Thus the Angel will repel (occasionally) a devil thrust, and has a much greater chance to one hit the devil away.

Doesn't that require the devil to fail a moral check? I don't think that will be happening any time soon.

add in a decent about of att. (I'd say 4 is enough).

This would help substantially. Of course if the angels can hit it will be an intersting battle. The angles will probably 1 hit the devils and the devils will one hit the angles. Weird battles to be sure.

Heh, a Blessing that actually works for it's blessed units?!?! OMG.

An Angel that is the bane of all Undead?!? OMG.

Keep away from that, most assuredly.

HA. I have to totally agree.

liked the damage shield that worked specifically against undead Zen (IIRC) mentioned a while back when discussing Virtue

I think that is it! Perhaps it could be implemented as follows: a second attack which does some minimal damage ( let's say 4 points ) x3 against devils/undead with a good sized area effect ( like 5 squares or something ) with no range. Much like the harbinger's horn ( but less powerful ). If you can mod 2nd attacks it should be brain dead simple to implement. That along with the +4 attack would make them USEFUL ( but perhaps not cost effective ) against devils.

Interesting.

Perhaps good can at least hold off evil in the eternal war!
