Some artifacts give bonuses to "all friendly targets". e.g.

Name: Cape of Protection
Slot: Shoulders
Description: All friendly targets gain 30% magic resistance.

Name: Ring of Speed
Slot: Right or Left Hand
Description: Gives all friendly targets +2 to their speed in combat.

Name: Crusader's Mace
Slot: Right Hand
Description: All friendly targets do +30% melee and ranged damage.

Does "all targets" in these cases includes any hero(s), or does it (like the Tactics skill) work only on non-hero creatures?

I think it is only creatures, but you'd have to test it to be sure. The fastest test is probably to just start a battle with them off, check the wearer's stats, allied hero stats, and creature stats. Then load, start the battle with them on, and check again.

Bookwyrm is correct, the bonuses only apply to non-heroes. You can see the results even outside of battle - Try checking a monsters attack or defense, then equipping the item on your hero and checking the creature's stats again. The hero's stats won't change but creature's will.

It's also true of bonuses like those provided by the Life Shield, which will apply the "Death Ward" effect to creatures but not to any heroes.

Thanks both.

Sorry I can't mark both as solution.
