ok by me, I nearly can see all that shattered shields & metal lying all over the battlefield when the Humakt Deathlord finally meets his Yarnafal counterpart, provided that the lunar god of war is capable of similar feats.

that leaves Delecti's zombies pretty vulnerable, unless

  1. the narrator rules that "kill undead" is only useful to augment and/or
  2. Delecti enchants all his creatures, thereby raising the resistance

while b. is ok by me [though a bit "tweaky"], I don't get around a. [still, after 2 years :( when does a narrator rule "that feat augments, and this works as stand-alone <feat>"

"swordhelp" would be good candidate for augmentation only, but good players eventually will come with a nice "myth" of Humakt "swordhelping" some comrade.
