Multiple attacks on Commander question

no, zooko was wrong, as W9 doesn't give 2 attacks per round.

W9 and the spell should stack - i don't think there's a 2 action limit from that, but i could be wrong i guess. The heroic ability stacks w/ anything, and can lead to some very nice effects

Yep nothing like a Jotun Herse with Heroic Quickness 200%+, equipped with Soulstone of the Wolves and scripted to cast spells; even without Jade Armor or a W9 blessing, that's a lot on wolves on the field. (Had this going in one game - sadly, the nature blessing wound up making him go berserk eventually.)

i thought the soulstone just summoned once then nothing else? if not then im trying it.

[Cainehill]

The Fenris Pelt (or some such) summons once at the beginning. Soulstone auto-summons once, and then can cast Howl each turn, if scripted to do so.

The free Call of the Wild each turn is pretty nice - but the in-battle usage is what makes it so great, all those wolves coming at the enemy mages from all directions.

never realised the castability in it

[archaeolept]

its really the only artifact that is clearly overpowered

[shovah]

well it and amon hotep really

[Cainehill]

Not sure I'd say it was overpowered. Powerful, sure, and as Zen noted, under-rated. But look at ... The gate stone, the flying ship, the Ark, the Chalice, the Hammer of the Forge Lord : I'd argue that both of those are more powerful in terms of altering game play and situations. For instance : 200 devils and other top-notch summonings teleporting on top of your armies at whim, leaving before there can be much retribution - I'd say that has a lot more impact than a bunches of scrawny wolves.

you actually don't have to script it to cast spells, it casts howl every turn all on its own.

amon hotep is overpowered because it combines invulnerability with high magic resistence and awe. The fact that it can also give you a free mummy each turn is just an added bonus.

Soulstone, even if it is overpowered, who really wants to be leader of a bunch of dogs?
