fear question

Llamabeast, are you sure that unit isn't a pretender with death magic?

Death magic adds plus one to fear for each level of death magic. If a unit doesn't have any fear, it kicks in at 5 points of death. I presume that with the horror helmet, it counts the full worth of the death magic.

I think having a horror helm is like having 5 more levels of death magic, if you like. I think a D1 mage with with a horror helm will end up with fear+1. Haven't checked that recently though, so I may have got confused.

Correct!

Just so you know, two horror helms don't stack

I was trying to give my wurm +10 fear

All of the fear items give +5 fear, so that equipping any one of them on a non-mage commander will get Fear(0). For a true Fear-monster, think D10 Prince of Death with Horror Helmet, Lantern Shield and the armor that gives fear (don't remember which one that was. Fear(+35) for the win! If you had a non-pretender one like that and got him Legendary Cruelty or Battle Bellow, that would be something...

No two identical items stack (like Wine bags).

Unless you have three or more slots of the same type, so e.g. a Crone with 4 slots can exploit that by putting 2 wine bags and 2 cauldrons in the order WB-C-WB-C and will get the bonuses from all 4 items stacked. That starts to become a problem when it is done with magic boosters, especially multipath boosters.

Damn, I need to add that one to the next bug roundup (due later today).
