Jarl vs Oni

Intresting. I tend to like earth blessing in big sacreds. But eventually magic resistance become important.

Jarl vs Oni? That goes to the Jarl for most of the game. Once the Oni has some serious buffs up(phoenix pyre, soul vortex, fire shield, invunerability, summon earthpower, not in that order) then you might have a better SC there, but I still prefer the Jarl for the early-mid game advantage and the fact that they are still good later.

Besides, you should count the fomorian giants (cyclops). That are also from early era.
Maybe the Basalt kings too.

I'm curious to see how a jarl would fair against his cost in the newfangled Ulmish Guardians. I could imagine him passing out and in a couple turns the guardians doing the same.

I doubt anyone would Wish for a jarl in Middle Era. I'd be interested in seeing how a Seraph fares, however...

I would not launch anything sacred against the new guardians. Keep in mind, the
fatigue effect triggers always, they do not have to land a blow. Any sacred
SC, including a Seraph will get swamped and will faint in two-three turns. Of
course, those standing over his corpse are likely to be burned and blinded...

But a few naked Skrattir will have a good time (Quicken self, breath of winter, change shape)

By the way, casting Breath of Winter with a Niefel Jarl is impossible.

Maybe your Jarl was wearing a Rime Hauberk? That would make it impossible, because it's the same effect. But a naked Jarl has no problem casting Breath of Winter, and gets +6 to his Chill aura when he does so.
