From what I see Rishis have 2 misc slots. Didn't know about the Ashdod Adon and Taimai Elder though. It can be a good bonus for spellcaster as well as for sc.

Then it's just the ones you receive as heroes with the worthy heroes mod.

Penetration +7 is doable (in which case you might want 3 +MR items to be absolutely sure), but rune smashers might not be available to the nation in question, and the green eye is I think unique, so that much penetration should not be *expected*. You should certainly expect +3 or so.

You can do without the Green Eye in certain cases by replacing it with a Ring of Wizardry + Starshine Skullcap, which is a net +2 penetration boost. I just thought the idea of having both eyes replaced with items was funny.

Agree about the Rune Smashers.

Isn't Starshine Skullcap a magic RESISTANCE, not penetration, bonus?

EDIT: Or did you mean that the caster would total a +2 more above Mind Hunt minimum and get the penetration that way?

Endoperez,

Yes, that's it. Green Eye = +2 penetration. Starshine Skullcap + Ring of Wizardry = +1 penetration directly, +2 to S which adds another +1 penetration. This math wouldn't hold up if there were an opportunity cost to using the headslot, but I don't think there is in this case: the Green Eye guy is just going to leave his headslot empty.

The Skullcap could be required to meet the Mind Hunt requirements. Other than that it does work out. Good thinking there.
