The Shedu has a head slot, actually.

D'oh! I looked up the other stats, but was too lazy to create a Pretender and a game to check that bit.

If there weren't better pretender choices for Arco, I could be tempted to play a Shedu. Either without extra magic, or with earth 3-4. At least when he dies, you get a magic duel-immune pretender who can still use Invulnerability. It's just ridiculous that the Great Mother is cheaper and can give you everything the Shedu has - you just need a pair of Winged Shoes - and more.

It's kinda same with Void Lord:
He costs 125 points, as much as one positive scale to 3 would cost, he has worse starting Dominion than Dagon, and it seems the cost of starting magic picks goes up too high: the Last pick from 8 to 9 Astral costs something 100 points!

And yet again, yes, R'lyeh can take Cold/Heat and Slothness scale to some extent, but they reduce your income. Money=Important to R'lyeh.
