   Necro pets destroy elf paladins, 23 dex with no dodge...

   Superb tracking, well done.
3. Jluppy Linaro vs Iendlir (Last round Only) -
   savebreak dependent spells are exacerbated by rank difference.
   
   45 savebreak dependent with no break vs 40 enemy = near full damage anyway.
   
   45 savebreak dependent with a minor or moderate savebreak vs 50 = almost as little damage as wearing no savebreak at all.
   
   In my experience..

   Nice timing on his aura falling right after you summoned. Linaro initiated every time, except once. Iendlir, you needed to get more murders in. Gain a few pieces of health equipment too. Maybe go with some hp/dam or hp/hit items..copper bracelets, melded rings, snakeskin coif, multi-colored rags, etc.
   Getting pinnacled wouldn't hurt either.
5. Jluppy Linaro vs Iendlir (Last round Only) -
   what I meant by that was, Iendlir is using savebreak dependent affs that really get gimped if someone wears even mediocre saves, and then he's trying to hit someone above his rank. This is a terrible situation.
   
   On the other hand, Linaro is using a high break dependent spell, but his enemy is lower in ranks, meaning it's that much easier to do full damage.

   Might be worth it against a necro to try a flamestrike or two to blind some of the charmies or even the owner himself and avoid some assistance for several rounds.

   That's afflictive save.
   
   'FLAMESTRIKE'
   Syntax: commune 'flamestrike' (short syntax: flst)
   Spell type: AFFLICTIVE
   Dependency: medium
   
   Flamestrike is a supplication that creates a giant pillar of flame,
   directed towards everyone who is fighting the communer. The damage brought
   forth by this spell is fire-based. Because of the intensity of this
   spell, paladins may only do this when already in battle. The spell is
   even more devastating to those who are being controlled by others. Those
   who have been hit by the flamestrike have a chance of being blinded by the
   smoke. Afflictive resistance protects against this blindness.
   
   * This clerical spell may inflict reduced damage against certain targets
   if they are already near death.

   Syntax: commune 'wrath' (short syntax: wrat)
   Spell type: AFFLICTIVE
   Dependency: low
   
   Paladins have the ability to call upon the gods of light to strike down
   the foes of the caster with divine wrath. This wrath is most effective
   against those who walk in darkness and less effective against those who do
   not have a firm moral commitment.

   a few pieces of affsave and paladins are just gimp warriors with some cure spells. If flamestrike wasn't medium dependent, I'd advocate it's use.

   elven paladins need RAGE, i can't imagine playing one w/o raging...
9. ergorion Linaro vs Iendlir (Last round Only) -
   Jluppy, I'm not advocating flamestrike for the damage against necromancer's. I'm talking about the BLINDING effect that it also has. With five charmies attacking and the owner, that's six independent chances to blind someone. Sure, the owner might wear saves and protect himself, but charmies can't wear saves. Flamestrike with a one round lag and a chance to blind some of those nasty zombies? I'll take it.
10. Jluppy Linaro vs Iendlir (Last round Only) -
    but if it doesn't pay off, you're in a worse position than before.
11. ergorion Linaro vs Iendlir (Last round Only) -
    Only by a round. i would take a chance of blinding any of 6 opponents over any other paladin skill/spell against a necro with the exception of strike of faith with the opponent near death.
    
    come one jluppy, if you fail and get into a bad position, you just run, heal, and start over. a necro has no lag skills to keep you in combat
12. Jluppy Linaro vs Iendlir (Last round Only) -
    that really depends on what the bad position is. A malbreak and a lucky sleep midfight, or some built up ghoul touch for a PW:kill (as unlikely as it is), are some real dangers to trying to blind the zombies in some balls to the wall scenario.
    
    I'd prefer errantry and wearing off the necro purplle and getting a lucky wrath in with affbreak myself.
