Fear

[Forrest]

How high can fear go?

I had a guy get Heroic bragging. It was called Heroic Bellowing but that is realy just bagging how your going to kill everyone.

Anyway, I fiddled with him a bit and got it up to Fear +5 before he bought it. No fear magic devices added in just experiance. I thought about going back to a old F+2 save and trying again to see how high it could go but it simpler to ask.

What could I do to boost it? Since almost all the devices are Fear +0 I don't think they would help. The Gift of Kurgi is the only thing I see that he can use and that is a far reach for this game.

I think the Foutain of Blood starts out with Fear (+15), so at least that high.

A Horror Helm will add to existing fear, but the Foutain can't wear one. I don't think if it matters if it's +0 or not, it'll still add something to existing fear.

Put it this way: Ive had a prince of death with fear+30 (he had death10 and a horror helm iirc) so it can atleast go that high. Its a good thing (for my enemies) pretenders cant get heroic abilities (him with heroic cruelty would have been a very bad thing for anything vunerable to morale)

I hope you took Dominion 9 or 10 with that one... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Dominion 10, he also had some earth magic (prot buffs), a robe of shadows, a charcoal shield, a lucky pendant and an antimagic amulet http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Beautiful.

He really, really was. Combined with his flying he simply appeared infront of the enemy army, let off a few spells and then after the first few enemies died from his fireshield they routed due to his huge fear AoE.

You did check the morale of your enemies, right? I'd quess even things like blessed Knights of the Chalice would have their morale at 4 or 5, and normal infantry might have -3 or so... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

With scorpion men I've seen morale of -73.

I wonder what would happen if i combined him with a few scorpion men (is it possible to reduce berserked/other extremely high morale units down to a routable level?)
