As far as I can tell the easiest way is to take one of the hosts you've gone for and write it up - if I recall correctly they are designed to be around 499g, but you'll want to be careful about ubiquities.

Do musters without them suffer, or is it an element you can successfully use tactics to mitigate against any issues of not having them? 2. Has anyone made use of the Host Command option?...

The club/weapon inconsistency is still there as above.

On the Erainn Taioseach it says he already has a shield in his combat weapons but then lists it as an armour option to purchase. Doesn't match with Curadh or Ri Tuath, so I thought I'd raise it.
