That is good to know! Do you know of anything that documents what slots are available on which pretenders?

A couple more quick questions if you don't mind:

1. I made the Chalice because I have some diseased crones. I equipped the Chalice, but the crone is still diseased. Is there something I need to do to invoke the power of the Chalice? Is there a better way to heal my diseased crones before they die?

2. From what I read, Longbowmen are supposed to be amazing archers. But I have two squads of 40 archers that maybe damage 2-3 enemy per turn, and not very heavy damage at that. It seems that ranged units are not very effective, even against unarmored barbarians. Are my expectations too high?

3. Is there something that can be equipped that improves that stats of the units under a leader's command, other than a standard?
