Re: Mysterious Pretender
It has Encumbrance 0, so while trampling (with Boots of Behemoth) it doesn't accrue fatigue. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: Mysterious Pretender
I think you are right. It seems that trampling is the best use of this pretender.

Re: Mysterious Pretender
Really epic Pretender, roleplaying-wise. The mindless and 0 enc are especially nice, although the other stats remind me of a watered-down cyclops.

Might be fun, but with 4 AP he'll just trample once per turn. Not nearly as dangerous as a trampling elephant. |

I tried it out. Without quickness he can somehow trample 4 times per turn with his 4 AP... 8 times with quickness. Way better than I thought. |

Re: Mysterious Pretender
Yeah, and we'd rather spend all those design points on a pretender that's ... almost as good as an elephant GORed? Lol.

Re: Mysterious Pretender
He's much better than that, just for having humanoid item slots. He'll never rout and never get tired, is immune to life drain, etc. Really, there's no comparison to an... elephant.
