Ah, so she's in fact a reincarnation of a Tien Chi heroine? I never saw her Tien Chi analogue, so I wouldn't know. Still, it's thematic - reincarnation in the true sense of the word - she is given a new life as someone else when her immortality couldn't save her any more.

Thanks for the info.

Hey, even if it's unintentional, it's still a fun feature. I do wonder though, what kind of commander died to give those paths?

Yes, it does have to be one of the funnest bugs I can recall in any game. Fortunately it's really rare, so I'd say it's a contribution rather than a problem.

The original Tien Chi hero was good old Mr. Master of the Iron Crutch himself, the disease-spreading hero that everyone loves to hate.

Iron Crutch is a great mage, but stories abound of "Augh! Iron Crutch diseased my pretender/best mage/other hero/etc".

I just experienced my own "reincarnation" moment: A commander named Bifrons, perhaps the same as the Ice Devil, got reincarnated....as a Vampire! He came apparently empowered, too, with S4/W3 as his magic paths, which is two astral empowerments above his base....AND he came with three items, a Starshine, a Crystal Coin, and a Water Bracelet.

How cool is that? He came with bonus magic, bonus items, AND came on a chassis that doesn't suck!

The combination of items sounds exactly like it would give the "empowered" combination (the base is S2/W2 IIRC). What you mean to say is that items were on top of that, i.e that he had S6/W4 with items?

That's right, Chief. Bifrons is normally W3/S2, BTW. The reincarnated vampire came with S6/W4, including his equipped items....meaning that he had been empowered twice in Astral as well. Pretty sweet.
