Annoyingly, his brother's pretty busy with his own stuff, and generally speaking can do more good that way. So if Teclis is marching off to the Empire with a combined total of three dudes, he needs to be able to swing a sword.
Tyrion is the Everqueen's Champion and paramour, and Finubar's top general. If anything he's deeper in AP hell than Teclis.
I'd say Cripple would gives him penalty only when interacting with elves, wo when interacting with humans his human-level diplomacy can carry the day.
Yeah, the meatshields most readily available to Teclis are apprentices.
I would expect it would be the Swordmasters of Hoeth, an order of warriors whose main and express purpose is to be meatshields to the Loremasters.
Bring Johann along and he can start to combine the techniques of East and West.
I wonder if there's any lizardmen that are especially into unarmed combat... the amazons probably have some thoughts on it. We definitely need to take a world tour at some point and loot books everywhere we go while Johann breaks dojos and grows ever closer to the platonic ideal of FIST.
The update where it was introduced.
Seems you can counterspell it on a amber but it's probably quite hard because iirc dragons are pretty resistant to magic.
I'd assumed it was like the pope, where theoretically they can elect basically any imperial, but practically it's always an elector.
Let's not forget that the title of Loremaster comes with mastering multiple paths of which Swordmaster is generally one. His actual combat skill without factoring in the curse is going to be on the good on the elf scale.
Correct, only the Elector Counts are candidates, the other 5 Electors (Grand Theogonist and 2 Arch-Lectors of Sigmar, Al-Ulric, Elder of the Moot) are explicitly not candidates.
Magnus the Pious was not an Elector-Count (nor an Elector), so you don't have to have a province.
Just have the backing of your entire godly pantheon instead, no biggie.
Though of course, if the standard is "Equal to Magnus the Pious", I don't think there's much reason to think a non-Elector will be getting in any time soon.
No, good old Teclis is just going to rub his detractors' faces in the fact that teaching humans magic hasn't just paid off, but paid off in ways even he hadn't foreseen. It goes beyond "Told you so", straight to "In your face! In your face!" territory.
Charoi Teclis has WS 6 and A3, which is the same as a Commander.
Since this has been left around with no one digging up the relevant quote:
The reward for learning battlemagic is knowing battlemagic.
The Fay Enchantress does in 6th. Basic rules say you assume everyone is carrying a hand weapon. She doesn't have a contradicting rule, so she has a hand weapon.
I'd actually split his martial out from his prowess. Martial would be middling (he can and does lead armies, but he's not spectacular at it) prowess would be slightly above average, but have massive debuffs due to being a cripple, which his potions and sword more or less mitigate.
At least one source says you need a two-thirds majority to be elected. Don't think Boney is going with that though.
