No, he doesn`t.

Solution is - get killed QUICKLY. Like charging a barbarian horde with 1 hp (just remember to script your pretender to attack, or he will start casting and may even win)

Gift of Health works too. And it`s easier to get than a faerie court, anyway.

Yes, and you get lesser MR. But in exchange you get 21 base hp (much better than most rainbows), all undead immunities (cold, poison, starvation) and chill aura. And you keep those precious magic paths!

He may need them to FORGE those items, you know. If a player says his paths are so important - maybe he knows better?

I really wish that Dominions death mages knew of clean, simple ways to die, like taking sleeping pills with alcohol or something. A morbid thought, I know.
Also, I didn't know GoH heals undead afflictions, thanks.

Read it in some Arcocephale LP, IIRC. He was using GoH to set up a tartarian factory - caused him some frustration when it got stolen. %)

Contact your allies, maybe they can make one for you...
