The chance is 10% + 40%*Blood. A blood 2 mage has a 90% chance, as does a blood 1 mage with a SDR.

Well I believe Pan should't get Demon Knights ... I don't feel Pan using demons, but more xbreeding as before stated.

About using blood enhancing items for blood hunting, well I use them only when they're useless elsewhere.
I prefer +1 blood slave than +1 research point.
But usually they're assigned to forging or casting.

ah thnx . btw the storm demon isn't such a great idea for vanheim at all or ? because he just adds to their strenghts ( already superpowerful airmages ) but does not cover their weaknesses .
against lighningresistant creatures / sc's storm demons are pretty useless or ?

does anyone know if there are perhaps rare indep mages which fit for this role ?

You have a good chance with indie Wizards. The sorcery based ones can get 2B1E and the elemantal ones 2E1B, easy to go from there with boosters.

Storm Demons work well for Vanheim because they are immune to lightning and can fly in storms, which means that Vanheim can nuke the crap out of its enemies without worrying about also nuking the storm demons.

finally 1/64 of your summoned spectres which have 2 random picks will get one blood and one earth pick . but there the odds are just too bad.

It is 1/32. Both earth+blood and blood+earth will do.

if you are 100% lighning resistant too can a storm demon than hurt you or not ? i didn't use storm demons much so far since i don't like vanheim too much all in all and for other nations it is not easy to get .
his weapons are thunder fist / lightning according to the excel graph from zen .
so does he inflict damage in meelee with his thunder fist if you are 100% lighning immune or can it harm you no more then ?
how is this with similiar units like spring hawks ?

thnx in advance
