The Kindly Ones

[Ironhawk]

So, the global The Kindly Ones attacks all mages that have blood magic....


Does this include Pretenders?


Also, do they attack frienly blood mages?

[Edi]

I suppose they do. From the description, it seems like a blood mage is a blood mage, no matter who they follow or whether or not it's a god.

It's one of those "Screw everyone equally" spells, unless of course you don't have any blood mages at all.

[Wish]

they actually attack anyone who hurts a virgin...

this means:

A) people casting blood magic spells
B) people who kill your virgins in battle
C) people who forge magic items with virgins
D) people who empower their blood levels

and strangely

E) people who wish for "magic power" and gain that initial level of blood magic (but not subsequent wishes, adding subsequent levels of blood magic)

[Ironhawk]

Has anyone actuallly cast the spell? I'm in a position now where I've already cast it and I need to know for sure if its going to come back and haunt me (i have a rainbow pretender and cant recall if it has blood!!).

[Ironhawk]

Are you sure about that Wish? Its been attacking indy blood mages. They dont do any of the actions you list, unless they are constantly blood hunting?

[Foodstamp]

I have casted the spell once during a game. I was not playing a blood nation so I am not sure if it will affect your mages.

The Kindly Ones did attack blood mages every single turn until they were finally killed by enemies. They seemed to be pretty decent assassins, but they finally died to a well equipped vanheim commander. They would attack independent of one another and randomly target blood mages as far as I could tell.

During this game I am sure I killed enemy bloodslaves on the battlefield, but the 3 kindly ones never attacked my commanders. Also, I think I remember them attacking a pretender (Not 100% sure on this).

Oh btw, I noticed they keep afflictions they receive in combat.

[Wish]

if they sacrificed any of their virgins during a battle they become a possible target. I've tested with it thoroughly, and saw them attacking bogus' comrades and the like as well.

my blood mages that did nothing with virgins never got attacked.

they are unique, so they keep whatever, just like other unique folks.

I thought they ever interesting so I used them. Frist time I tried I was Pangaea against Milan. Even tho my Pan's never used blood magic they were attacked. I have never seen them atk someone without blood magic.

They are real strong. I had a arch mage prender that used wish for 3 times for power and wish his magic skill up to 9-11 in everything and he still got killed. Any blood magic makes them target you.

They do not distinguish between friend or foe. They took out my dom 10 wyrm without trouble (e3 friendly dominion 352 or so hp). I was Bogarus that game when qm casted it and it murdered half my startets. Then it turned around and killed his rainbow pretender that he casted it with =D.

[quantum_mechani]

They are very strong against some things but are actually quite vulnerable to certain enemies. Anything undead that spams skellies has a pretty good shot against them.
