They have a pretty severe horror marking chance actually (the DB says "50" which I assume means 50% chance per turn?) Though a couple of marks isn't a big deal to most SCs unless they get really bad rolls on the horror checks and end up with a Doom Horror. They also have a slight chance of lost in time and space, but I don't think it's cumulative, so it depends what you mean by "eventually."

Anything lost in the void without S is pretty much gone for good though, even if they do make it back you'll be stuck between letting them be feebleminded forever or (if you can heal it) making them into a stationary defensive unit as their insanity score will go over 100% pretty quickly, barring a VERY lucky get out of void free roll in the first few turns. Fun fact: feebleminded cancels shattered soul and insanity.

So if I purposefully mind hunt an astral nation with my astral Tarts and then heal them they'll be just like the old ones?

After the patch, I do not think they can be considered a *slight* chance of being lost in space and time any more. I have had every unit I have ever put them on go lost in the void in less than 10 turns, and usually less than 4. Additionally the horror mark seems to have gotten vastly stronger.

Previously Ive worn them much of the game - and not gotten horrormarked. Now it seems inevitable.

The rod that gives astral, boots, and Kurgi's gift have gone from being desirable items to being ones I won't use any longer.
