It seems to me that the Moritui Ludus benefits are the most widely utilized of all the available options. I have no doubt as to why, as they are extremely good, and broadly useful regardless of model .

However, this begs a question: Why are the Morituri Benefits the only ones, that can be used for non-ludus members? (Will of Antony & Offering)

Literally every other set of benefits has the stipulation that the model must belong to that ludus in order to take advantage of the benefits. This makes little sense to me.

Anyone have any ideas as to why the Morituri are the sole exception in this regard?

Many people have wondered this I think. I haven't seen anyone come up with a good answer. The Morituri benefits are just unique and very popular for that reason. I don't know what the other schools did to make their benefits so restrictive in comparison.

I have noticed a substantial amount of lists coming from tournaments to include Morituri benefits. Even lists that are Anum and all beasts (the exact situation the Bestiae Benefits exist for!), often opt to use the Morituri benefits, simply because Will of Antony is amazing.

A meta-game is clearly emerging due to the lack of restriction for the Morituri. I'm not saying they are overpowered or need revision at this time, however it just strikes me as strange. As I would like to see more varied use of the other ludus benefits.

I do find it really head scratching that one of the most obviously powerful abilities is also the least restricted. The beast thing in particular is quite disappointing. I'd wager its because they were designed to be the beast faction before they decided to go ahead and make a beast faction. It's something I'd be happy to see changed, but I'm not entirely convinced is worth the hassle.
