: Hey, I was born of woman like everyone else!
Bah. MacDuff was from his mother's womb untimely ripped.
: It doesn't say anything at all on the subject (which is
: one of the reasons I wanted to devise a theory in
: which *nothing* bad happened to the real Deceiver). It
: does mention his physical appearance, which is simply
: the ordinary-dirty-old-man look we're familiar with
: from both games. I've never seen a Myth undead who
: wasn't butt-ugly, so I take this to indicate that the
: Deceiver's still alive (he's no beauty, but he's
: better looking than a Shade). I admit, though, that
: the line between life and undeath can blur for Fallen
: Lords--just look at Soulblighter, undead in TFL and
: apparently alive in Myth2.
The way I understood it, his life is sustained by dark magics, and the healing spell counterattacts that sort of thing. Bu Myth 2, he had become proficient enough a sorceror to resist it. Shades also heal normally and they're definitely undead.
: Yes, you'd think they'd send a particularly skilled
: medic. But, as you say, in the TFL level "The
: Five Champions" they send a more or less ordinary
: Jman. I think the standard Myth general's thinking
: is--if they're not instantly killed by an attack, any
: Jman can save them; if they are killed by an attack,
: no one can save them. So it's not that important to
: find a really really good healer. And I think the
: ability to carry lots of roots (all Herons can carry a
: lot; they just *don't* carry many) is a function of
: pocket size, not medical ability. :)
But they can carry 9 roots. Besides, the journeyman on the Five Champions was a super journeyman.
