I think you have a 20% chance of the tartarian being a commander. It usually has at least 1 affliction but you can be very lucky and get a affliction free one. On the other hand I have had tartarians with upto 5+ afflictions if you get unlucky.

The fairy queen is virtually useless at healing afflictions. The chalice is fantastic at healing afflictions. I believe Gift of Health is good as well.

How good are witches (I believe they can heal?), Arco priestesses and Ermor healers? Anyone know?

Remember that affliction-curing chances also depend on the individual affliction. From my personal experience with GoH in long games, it seems like Feeblemind is relatively hard, unfortunately; even in a Dom10 province with GoH it can easily take 5-10 turns or more to heal a Feeblemind, though they aren't impossible.

Heal rates for Priestess/Ermor-priest are listed in the manual somewhere, though I don't have it handy. I don't believe Witches heal.

The witch's description says they having healing abilities, but they don't have any "Heal Allies/Troops" option. Perhaps they have a passive healing skill similiar to the chalice, but wouldn't someone have noticed that by now?

I think the description is just outdated. They'd be far too good if they did heal.

The only things that can heal afflictions on undead are GoH and the Chalice AFAIK, and both are unique. (Well, in the sense that a global is unique)

They never healed base game. In Dom2 CB they had healing, but with the general weakening of indy mages in Dom3, it didn't seem necessary to make them more worthwhile.

I just tried it this weekend playing LA Ermor. I put up Gift of Health and my tartarians rapidly were losing their afflictions. Getting off that Gift of Health wasn't easy, though, and it turned out to be irrelevant--I got a dominion kill while moving them to the battle.
