Been taking a look at the new release - noticed two issues right of the bat. 1st, the new distortion path is not listed in the forsaken guide, so the default bonuses a forsaken has for being that distortion is not listed. 2nd, the new distortion is not listed in the (forsaken->cheat->distortion) section of the cheat menu, so you can't generate a custom forsaken with that distortion.
It looks like this might also be a tricky distortion to manage, since it's relatively easy to trigger on multiple chosen if you haven't fully broken the other vulnerabilities yet. Which can make targeting the specific chosen you want an issue. Did a cheating test game, and had one chosen surrounded, and two chosen that could trigger the distortion. Might be worth adding a caveat that the chosen that you've already selected for the distortion is prioritized. - which is not the case currently, had to surround both of the other chosen to trigger on the one I actually wanted.
There may also be an issue with single-play and Megalomania forsaken - since they effectively "lose" their second in command status while in the main menu, you can't get their unique defiler back (if you train them out of it) unless you start a single play scenario. Not really an issue in campaign, but a bit odd.
Also, for people who are wondering:
Defiler Specialty: Maneuver (none)
Can increase the duration of the current Capture by 2, but only while the target has a Surrounded ally, and this may be repeated multiple times during the Capture
Traits while second-in-command:
Trait: Ambitious Underling
+50% HATE and PLEA damage and special Defiler, but only while occupying Second-in-Command position
Trait: Second-in-Command
No deployment cost for final battle, training plan cannot increase corruption, cannot train without consent
Trait after being replaced (or while in main menu):
Trait: Usurped Authority
Loses Distortion benefits, deals half damage in battle
