====== Mindless ======

{{:abilities:mindless.png?nolink }} The **Mindless** are goobers without a real will to themselves. Maybe they don't have minds. Maybe they don't have souls. Maybe they're just beings who don't have two cents to give on your Terrestrial reality, or at least on your battle plans.

A lot of beings are mindless. Many are {{:abilities:magic_being.png?nolink}}[[Magic Being|Magic Beings]], many are {{:abilities:inanimate.png?nolink}}[[Inanimate]], and a fair few are {{:abilities:undead.png?nolink}}[[Undead]].

The Mindless are dumb-dumbs, or at least act in that manner. They have a nominal 50 [[Morale]], meaning that they only [[rout]] in certain situations (such as not having {{:misc:gui:magicleadership.png?15&nolink}}Magic Leadership if a Magic Being); in the event of a rout, they swiftly lose all allegiances and disappear from the battlefield, a process known in-game as **dissolving**. The Mindless are also tougher to promote to commandership than others, requiring the pricey ??Divine Name?? instead of the relatively-cheap ??Gift of Reason??.

On the other hand, the Mindless have many benefits. A great many spells don't work on them. They can't fall [[asleep]], they can't be [[confusion|confused]] or [[rage|enraged]], they don't have the sorts of emotions that draw [[horrors]], and they definitely can't be [[seduction|seduced]]. Granted, there are a few beneficial spells that don't work on the Mindless; aside from ??Gift of Reason??, there are the various rage-based stat-boosts in [[Fire]] [[magic]] and [[Nature]] magic, and they can't use ??Magic Duel??. These are relatively few, however.
