Kobold Henchmen in Saltspar

Post by Kalthariam »

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but this henchmen, the kobold Mystefixzis, he just seems rather... weak? Like.. extremely so compared to all the other henchmen you can hire, and he also requires the noble reward to hire.

I'm not quite sure why he just seems so much weaker than the other henchmen you can pick up, especially since he's locked behind a reward to be able to hire.

Is there any thoughts in regards to improving him? I will admit my noble kobold would like to hire a kobold, just because it feels on theme for kobolds to work together, but despite his level he just cannot remotely stand up to anything on par with his own level. :(

He does have cleric spells, which is nice for him. Can regenerate itself, so takes less healing supplies. I think he may also heal others if they go to low HP. He has Monk UBAB and Flurry of Blows, so really many attacks. His weapons are unenchanted, so you can cast Greater Magic Weapon on it.

Some other elemental-based weapon enchantments have at least in the past bugged on Henchmen, so you can't give them temp essences or Flame Weapon , which limits thr damage output of low AB, high APR henches.

They are definitely one of the more complicated henchmen. He might even be properly balanced; we may just have a harder time seeing it, as the only metrics we really see are AC, AB, HP and APR.

Kenji is to my understanding who helped created them. He may have some real insight?
