Great Fun with Spring and Autumn - and one minor question

With the new addition to the Jade Emperor, he is not in effect, a bad Pretender, you still have to take significant levels of Astral but he also has access to mistform and Quickness.

I've been quite obsessed with Lady of Fortune for my S&A games, but I'd think Natty would do well. At least if you can keep him from getting afflictions before the national healer heroine appears. (Wasn't much impressed by Natajara, too easy to get afflictions, before seeing Caelum's pretender Natty in action in one MP. Now, respect.)

Is it intentional, by the way, that Natajara, when equipped one magic weapon, loses the use of all previous weapons, not just one?

Earth 3 for invulnerability, dominion 7 and 60-point fortress would leave you 280 points for scales, upping to earth 4 costs one scale lift but mages get reinvigoration when blessed. Dunno. Those with more opinions than me probably have, well, more opinions on this matter.

Been wondering, is 100-point citadel worth the points? To me it just seems an expensive trade-off between 30-admin castle and fortified city, but maybe I've missed something.

Fahdiz, I recommend the Earth 3 Nataranja. The low earth blessing is simply to weak to give you much edge. Heck! I would rather just take one point in earth and one in either water or air.

Your pretender should be decked out in good enough armor at the time you reach invulnerability. I find that mistform or quickness are superior to protection 30 if you got some good gear on your pretender.

Is that the FrankE game? If so, then that Nataraja isn't even fully decked out yet.

Thanks again.
No you are right GD I should have gone nature 4. I forgot that beserk makes you *melee*, not just unroutable.
But I still like Earth Mother because I want high nature for fast Gift of Health; 4 gives me that easily with a thistle mace.
And trampling is just way cool. Wéll I suppose it is just my subjectiveness....

Concerning the FrankE game....

Stop picking on Ermor.

They did nothing to you.

Yeah, I'm going to die.

Yes I know, but the potential is clearly visible. Well, as it is, that probably isn't yet my problem, so my scout horde is prepared to enjoy the coming show from a good vantage point. Other scouts bring some drinks, we've got noodles.

(to write something on topic too...) I'd think that the idea behind invulnerability instead of heavy armour would be the lesser encumberance, but not much expertise here. I've understood that the fatique would be a problem with Natajara.

Well, the problem is, you already are. I mean, that's the point in playing the undead, right?

Never mind my little empire, just doing some shopping on foreign soil whenever the opportunity arises...
