Well, I more or less agree on the principle but I think caps alone are sufficient. An 80% chance of getting feebleminded/killed with an s2 gygja is more than enough to persuade me to try soemthing else.

S3 means I've got a 50% chance I can get a teleport off before you get a mindhunt...so those Skratti targets that you know are tempting and I know are tempting are whole lot more dangerous to snipe when I'm expecting mind hunts.

Did you mean teleporting in? So that Gigja who wasn't present in the province will be here before mindhunter kills off a Scratti?

He means having the teleport spell go off. The teleport spell has a 50% chance of resolving before mind hunt due to the way Dom3 handles orders.
