cheers guys

Yep, the Slaan is still the unique general AND BSB who can also take magic items with a magic banner.

**greenbay924**

And give up a nice +200 points when killed.

**nosferatu1001**

Being ethereal (essentially) makes that tricky...

Luckily WHFB is the game where a combat in which no one dies can still have a winner.

Not that a Slaan vs. 20 guys still doesn't take forever while you wait for the Slaan to fail a leadership test while maybe killing a guy each turn.

Yeah, putting him on a cold-blooded re-rollable 5 or 6 still takes for. ev. er.

**nosferatu1001**

Rerollable 9, stubborn crown

**kenshin620**

Give standard of discipline. LD10!

**nosferatu1001**

Nah, there are better banners, like stupid wizards (hilarious to see horror blocks stumbling around...)

**Red_Zeke**

And to be honest, cold blooded, stubborn 9 re-rollable has got to be way up in the 99.something% chance of passing.

A buddy of mine mathhammered that out once and yeah, it's something ridiculous like that.

The odds of a cold blooded LD 9 character failing a check is 5.09% (11 fail results rolled out of 216 possible options). If you have a reroll then the odds of failing goes to 0.26%.

Sounding like the ultimate tarpit if the slann has 'Higher State of Consciousness'.
