D'oh. I forgot that ranged weapon use ammo.
Fire bless work on ranged? if yes a f9/d9 should be pretty evil

Extra damage from Fire or Death blesses only works in melee, not for missiles or spells.

F9D9 pretender could cast Flaming Arrows, though. ;)

You get to aim those last two shots at either the closest units, monsters, calvery, archers, flying units, or the rear. That makes them the best two of seven uses.

Assuming you don't spend the first turn running forward to get into range, then spend the second turn getting promptly impaled on a bunch of lances. :)

Too bad.At least affliction bonus should work

I surely remember somebody said that Death 9 bless works with missiles/spells (I think it was LA Tien Chi guide discussion). Fire bless certainly works only in melee.

I'm pretty sure that referred only to the +affliction% part of the bless, which I think works everywhere.

I'd worry that with 7 turns my bow of war commanders would be under attack in melee. I assume they'll all be carting personal guards round as well?

Agema: I presume these missile thugs are to be used along with PD, chaff, regular armies etc. Point being getting them to use the bow of war until they can't, then leave so there's less chance they die.
