The first screen shows a prophet bonus but the second has no priest levels.

Would you explain this Argitoth?

But isn't that a Prophet symbol on the second screen?

I'm very confused.

Edit: Never mind, since I publicly mentioned it, I decided to test it, and it seems shields add Parry to the listed Defense rating. I think. ; )

1) When your defence decreases due to being hit multiple times in one round, and you check the properties of the hit unit, how is the loss of defense displayed? Could that have caused it?
2) Thejeff, what Ylvali is saying that in spite of this unit being a prophet (prophet icon + blessed status), it does not have any level in Holy magic, which a prophet should have at least 3.
This is an interesting point that Ylvali raises.

1) As far as I know, the drop in defense from multiple hits isn't displayed anywhere. It's treated as a defense penalty on subsequent hits, rather than a change to the base defense.

2) I was pointing out the prophet icon, since Ylvali only commented on the prophet bonus on the first screen.

lol, ok, just to continue this useless discussion, let me say this is not an in-battle screenshot.

I seem to be coming down with the dominion fever, getting fed up with its loose ends.

True... the prophet icon appears on IllEarth yet no priest levels. This must be the prophet on a royal, kill the royal, prophet something else and then resummon the royal scenario you mentioned. Looks like killing and resummoning a prophetized royal comes with punishment.

As Cartman would say, "You shouldn't' a done that, he's just a boy... poor little feller"
