Enslave Mind/Charm/Hellbind Heart/Master Enslave

[Szumo]

Manual says pretenders are automatically immune to those spells, and that they're resisted by MR. My question is, are there other units that are immune too? Mindless ones? Or perhaps lifeless?

[atul]

Mindless are immune to it as per description "Mindless are immune to some spells such as charm and mind burn". Takes the punch out of opponent using too much nature magic to your liking, as they don't rout and aren't affected by charms.

And mindless commanders don't even fall apart when your army routs but keep on fighting.

I'm asking more in a context of defending against S14 Oracle scripted to Master Enslave

Do Slave Collars protect against Charm spells? It sort of feels as if they ought to.

I think they just give a huge morale bonus. They're fairly useless. Might be okay on an assassin.
