Phoenix Pyre, ARGH!

[MaxWilson]

Urg. I hate unscripted Blade Wind more than almost any other spell. An E2H2 leader of a small band of holies can be scripted to e.g. [Blessing, Blessing, Summon Earthpower, Ironskin, Hold, attack closest]. Usually 2 Blessings gets everybody, but every once in a while the first Blessing will do the job and then he casts something like: [Blessing, Ironskin, Summon Earthpower, BLADEWIND, Hold, attack closest]. "Nooooo!" I scream as he charges into battle with 90+ fatigue. Leader dies, sacreds route.

So, thugs that think they're arty mages are as frustrating as arty mages that think they're thugs. You just have to learn to work around this. (In this case, that often means scripting Invulnerability instead of Ironskin on Round 3. It gets the same job done at slightly higher fatigue cost, but the disaster scenario above can't happen.)
