Would it be worth giving a Slaan the book of Ashur as well as the extra power dice discipline?

it could work, but it seems like overkill.

As a general rule, any magic item over 50 points is most likely not worth it in any situation. it usually leaves you vulnerable in other areas for very little return.


That said, Slann don't need magic equipment as much as other characters(natural 4+ ward and the ability to hide in Temple Guard) so the item could work.

Yea cuz slaan are so cheap anyway.

But if you buy the book, how will you afford the Wizarding Hat on your Slann?

Just kidding. I think there's better expenditures of points on a Slann anyway. Rumination is a much better offensive boost, cheaper, and doesn't eat into your magic allowance *or* take an arcane slot.

That being said, I fully support experimentation with builds outside the "Internet standard".
