Re: Communion - items of master affect slaves ?
Communicants are an exception in more ways than one. They take less fatigue than theurgs from casting spells in communion, especially for high-path magics. For instance, in a test game with an S5F4 caster, 2 communicants took a total of 112 fatigue (8 + 108) when the master was scripted to <Communion Master, Astral Shield, Flame Storm>. 2 theurgs scripted to <Communion Slave> took 23 fatigue from casting Communion Slave, 31 and 41 more from Astral Shield (making 54 and 64 respectively), and 115 and 136+ from Flame Storm (making 181 and 200, and the 200 guy was down 1 hit point). I have no good explanation for this, but Pythium communicants are far better than normal communion slaves for fatigue. Especially if you do like Wish and give them Standards of the Damned so they can Drain Life.

Re: Communion - items of master affect slaves ?
Wow, come on guys. He had an AIR 10 bless, casted divine blessing on turn 1 of the combat. Who can figure out what really happened here to the sacred shamans? If you guess right, you get a cookie

Re: Communion - items of master affect slaves ?
He got the air shield and shock resistance blessing effects.
I like peanut butter. Can I have some of that in my cookie?

Re: Communion - items of master affect slaves ?
Foodstamp and RamsHead, I did say in my post that I checked the Shamen before the divine bless was cast. So when I checked, they were NOT blessed. They had no shock resistance, no flaming weapons, no air shield but did have charge body.
After turn 1, when divine bless was cast, they still had charge body, plus shock resistance (75%, not 100% from the copper plate), air shield and flaming weapons.
So it wasn't a bless effect, but truly something from the master's magic item

Air 9+ gives 75% shock resistance. The bless on your guys would have been 80% air shield, 75% shock resistance. As far as the charge body effect, are you sure you didn't mistake one of the icons since your shammies would have two from the bless?

I just tested it, and indeed mages who are communioned up when the battle starts receive effects from items that are only active in battles.
