    AND it makes no sense for the thing to have AP.
    Except for that last sentence, I wholeheartedly agree. I'd have preferred an attack/lethality loss, though; now they're just on the other side of the spectrum instead.

    Edit: oh, and except for that point about cataphracts though. The scary cataphracts were more OP than anything else, so while they had that trait I'm glad the kopis was OP too. It gave non-cata factions a chance. In this case, a second wrong didn't exactly make a right, but it did lessen the impact of the first.
