I agree, the king will get all higher saves while the Komodo just gets a
higher carapce save, since the king is supposed to be heavily armored.

We have suggested that the shields applies to vortex and warp missles as
well so you do get a save against them. It would be fair otherwise.

According to the origianl fluff, it does travel the warp, materializing
inside the target, but it is very innacurate and scatters a lot. The
warhead, however is just plain explosives. Its the ability to materialize in
a target that makes it dangerous.
