Default Re: Rigor Mortis and Darkness?

Neither Arryn nor myself were bashing you, Argi. In fact I'll give you some advice.

Darkness is wonderful because 0 prec means few arrows and banishments hit your undead while they stumble forward, and with attack and defense penalties souless might actually be a match for living soldiers.

Rigor Mortis gives fatigue, and lowers stats that way also. Not as good, IMO, however, as C'tis you can make the artifact mask that casts it for free, in which case it is worth it. Perhaps try using with cold battlefield spell because undead are cold immune, to give faster fatigue and knock more enemies unconcious. Of course either one alone works if your army is large enough. Undead dont rout or get fatigued so you can hit them until they collapse and then kick them when they're down.
Darkness is still more reccomended.

There's lots of info in the game and the book that don't describe the details as what this stuff does. Sometimes there's an entire paragraph describing the history of an item or spell... but few specific facts about what the stuff does. I don't know how many different items I've equipped only to discover afterwards the item gives a horror mark or permanently stuck to the owner... even tho the description said NOTHING about this.

Don't worry, I can take a joke, unlike SOME PEOPLE, don't want to mention any names...
