Communion - items of master affect slaves ?

He got the air shield and shock resistance blessing effects.

I like peanut butter. Can I have some of that in my cookie?

Foodstamp and RamsHead, I did say in my post that I checked the Shamen before the divine bless was cast. So when I checked, they were NOT blessed. They had no shock resistance, no flaming weapons, no air shield but did have charge body.

After turn 1, when divine bless was cast, they still had charge body, plus shock resistance (75%, not 100% from the copper plate), air shield and flaming weapons.

So it wasn't a bless effect, but truly something from the master's magic item

I like peanut butter cookies too

Air 9+ gives 75% shock resistance. The bless on your guys would have been 80% air shield, 75% shock resistance. As far as the charge body effect, are you sure you didn't mistake one of the icons since your shammies would have two from the bless?

I just tested it, and indeed mages who are communioned up when the battle starts receive effects from items that are only active in battles.

So the deal is, they have to be communioned at the start of battles (Only can happen with slave matrix) and they gain the powers of the master if he is wearing an item that gives an ability at the start of combat?

Well, they both have to be hooked up, so you will need a crystal matrix and a slave matrix. Also, just like how communion slaves count only if they are mages (with the exception of communicants), your slave with have to be a mage to receive the item's effect.

So this won't work with robes of invulnerability, since they work outside of battle as well? Too bad.
