I've come to realize that Cower is a really complicated mechanic...

Sure you prevent all damage from once source and then reduce your morale accordingly (divided by 10). But when to use it is ridiculously complicated... Especially when the slightest mistake in this game, and the tides so easily turn.

That is why i tend not to plan around that mechanism, only if i truly have something good in store for that creature do i cower the damage, and thats normally to spare his life, and its my opponents last active creature, and it only does about 10-20 dmg.

So very rarely. 

On a side note, i was destroying my friend one time, and i had planned it out to use my archer to kill his umber hulk (you know, the ultimate humiliation!) since he only had 3 morale left, and killing the hulk would have ment victory for me. But then he remembered the cowering rule, and was able to stay alive another round. i didn't mess around next turn to say the least...
