The hero range is going to need more evil to achieve parity and although you were in an enemy cabal, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I'd actually like to see a relatively strong Scion once I make it to hero. I think it will allow for a lot of good RP opportunities and would perhaps make sure that there are at least some enemies to fight when evil finally rises to power.

As for your rant on Imperial ganging squads: They're almost necessary to live at this point. Fortressfolk run in packs, Warders run in packs, Warlocks run in packs, even those that don't run in packs have backup one cb/gt away including myriad air forms, healers, et cetera. You're not entirely without blame yourself. Last night you and Huromhaur were running around with nightwalkers and druk'tar summoning like maniacs.

Sometimes you just have to assess the situation and take the necessary measures. When you know you can't win you stock up on teleport and return potions and quaff them like they are the last liquids on the planet.
