Quick question about Hepl

Is it okay that your ancestor can swap it's place with monster statues (ice etc.)?

Re: Quick question about Hepl

Great question. I hadn't considered it at all, to be honest. Maybe?

e: fixed.

Re: Quick question about Hepl

I don't see another good Hepl thread, so I'll put this here:
-I just won a HOGl game with a hexer ancestor (on cbo). I don't win much, so Hepl is probably overpowered.
-I used transference constantly to close the distance to ranged threats or split up groups. It's fun. I never noticed it slowing enemies, because Glaciate did a lot of that already and I was usually transferring the ancestor to the edge of LOS. I can see where that part would be more important on a knight.
-I rarely used idealize- I don't care if it dies because it comes right back. Temporarily Increasing spellpower would have been useful early on.
-I don't think Paralyze vs Glaciate is a very interesting decision: Glaciate and confuse is just a lot better than slow and paralyze. Glaciate vs Enslave might be better.

Re: Quick question about Hepl

it might be nice if those spells had names that were more distinct. only so many synonyms for 'cold' in the english language, i guess!

the problem with enslave is that it could be sort of annoying if your hexer enslaved an enemy you were trying to kill - breaks autofight, etc. i think you're probably right that paralyse/m.e. is not a particularly even choice, but i'm not sure what to replace it with.
