Champion's Trident - Is it worth it?

[Twan]

I hope in Dom 3 AIs won't send as often their pretenders to the DM (except if the reward has changed to be far more powerful, or in very particular situations). Seeing in SP 5 or 6 pretenders in any DM (so... 4 or 5 pretenders dying each time) weaken a little the AI nations.

PS : if magic items effects are moddable the trident will be the first I'd change (making it the most powerful item in the game)
