Final Newbie Question (or compilation of questions!)

[happygeek]

Thank you, thank you!
- OK it was a lifelong protection, good to know. I suppose no forge bonus makes sense. Would the Forge Lord also get none there if he had Blood to forge it?
- My fire bolas were definately not working. I scripted him to "fire". I am pretty sure my little assassin didn't do anything at all but try to get closer. I saw a fire bola work in the same game (my opponent, the Japanese-sounding fellows, had equipped some Generals, I think, with some -- errr actually, come to think of it, I think he got a fire bola off my assassin who didnt scratch him!!), there is a little animation and a fire thingy flies off. Next time I will try only one fire bola?
- So having a Nature Bless helps vs. Old Age afflictions -- will that also work for Old Aged Sacred people just researching (like Pythium) if they have nature bless?
Thanks so much again
