Description
Being a lord has the following effects:
- A lord that can wield weapons and has no special rules for its species is more likely to receive a weapon.[1]
- When throwing projectiles, a lord gets a +1 multishot bonus.[2]
- An A angelic being lord that receives a weapon or shield (i.e. an Archon) is guaranteed to receive a shield of reflection, and its weapon will always be upgraded to Sunsword or Demonbane if the chosen artifact doesn't exist.[3]
- Demon summoning by same-race sacrifice will summon a demon lord if possible, falling back to a major demon if both lords have already been generated.[4]
