Re: SCs and Afflictions
The Gorgon may not be immortal, but she recuperates and is a decent SC to boot.

Re: SCs and Afflictions
Units with death magic have a greater chance to avoid affliction if I remember correctly. So death magic and high regeneration can allow you to limit the afflictions you receive.
As for the immortal SCs, even a lightly geared lich with high death, awe, and maybe some air magic can handle most indies. Stay in your own dominion and it won't even matter much if you lose once or twice.

Re: SCs and Afflictions
I thought the death magic schtick was limited to a reduced chance of disease from old age?

Re: SCs and Afflictions
I reserve the right to be incorrect about that detail, but it fits with what I've seen happen in games I've played.

Re: SCs and Afflictions
C'tis also has an immortal pretender available.
I tried out a D5 Lich and it worked pretty well ... it's like a slightly more expensive PoD with less mobility, but that can go underwater.
The Phoenix is nice if you're using the CB mod.

Re: SCs and Afflictions
It's reduced chance of afflictions from old age, isn't it? Not just disease?
Whenever I try a (D5 at least) PoD with dom9 instead of 10, and no earth, he usually gets jacked up pretty bad. I suspect death magic does not reduce afflictions from battle.

You're right, it doesn't. Old age afflictions only. |

Re: SCs and Afflictions
I never felt it worked to any significant degree. Ermorian Thaumathurgs still sicken and die rather easily.

Re: SCs and Afflictions
KO addressed the effect of death magic here - I guess Thaumaturgs don't have D4 as a rule. Maybe the death magic bit could be added to the FAQ?

Re: SCs and Afflictions
I would assume that your natural level of death has this effect. Or would boosted death magic from items have the same effect at reducing the chance of disease?
