You wished once for Magic power and maybe also for power right ?

So your starting paths were A4 W2 E3 S5 D3 N3 ? Or did you do some normal empowering also ?

If you don't mind you could post your god design because i am very curious about your scales

Nicely boosted pretender there.

Out of curiosity, what does it take to fight off a horror?
Stats and equipmentwise?

Cheers,

I'm afraid my scales are pretty boring: the de facto standard of O3S3CnD2M2M3 (n is the nation's standard)

As for horrors, you need high defence and magic resistance. That snapshot was taken in a recently conquered province, so Yvelina's magic resistance is lower than I would like it to be when attacked by a Doom Horror.

How dangerous are horrors?

Before I learned that horrors do not attack scouts, I was keeping my soul contracts on banelords. I must have about 20 contracts at some point, and I had lost exactly two banelords to horrors. They were equipped with a wraith sword, astral cap, armour of speed, boots of flying, pendant of luck and a soul contract... The horrors that got lucky and killed their target were not Doom horrors, but the weight class below that.

So two of those bane lords died. How many horrors tried and failed?
