Beguiling: ability that forces a creature to become the caster's companion;
Siphon Vim: transfers health from a creature to the caster for several turns.

I got attacked by the puma and tried to fight back with Siphon Vim but quickly realized I'm not gonna win so I tried to beguile it and sure enough it worked.

But then it just kept losing health until it died :c

Well, my goal for this character was to make the archetypal vampire so I don't mind him being evil. Ulaad the Beguiler can be cruel as a treat.

    Fair play, mission accomplished. Truth be told no run of mine has gotten to the point where my characters have the chance to be amoral. More characters than I care to admit have perished before even finding the first dungeon.

    I just learned that you can be really cruel to the NPC who asks you to reach Six Days Stilt. Poor guy didn't know who accepted his quest...

    At least he may be at peace after the Machines slayed Ulaad in Grit Gate (the idiot forgot to find Droid Scrambler).
