spell effects on pretenders?
Are pretenders fair game excluding enslave effects?
I think my pretender got hit by either lure of the deep or fires from afar. eh dieds. It just seemed like my lord of the sky would perform better than that... Anyways, are there more things pretenders are immune too? ty |
Re: spell effects on pretenders?
The only things they are categorically immune to are charm/seduce/enslave type effects. Everything else works on them, as long as it's not blocked by the specific resistances and immunities of the pretender chassis, of course.

tangent: using flames from the sky on abysians would be pointless, right?
|
Re: spell effects on pretenders?
Yup.

Re: spell effects on pretenders?
Pretenders are "immune" to Transformation, too.
|
Re: spell effects on pretenders?
are the mindless and the undead immune to lure of the deep?
|
Re: spell effects on pretenders?
Gods are also immune to blessing, I think.

Re: spell effects on pretenders?
Not really the same thing, but are pretenders immune to fear or awe? Doesn't really seem worth making a new thread over, but i'm curious.

Re: spell effects on pretenders?
They generally have 30 morale, so it's hard to tell... 30 is too high for awe to make much difference, isn't it? And it's also a "special" value, similar to 50, that doesn't drop when the unit is near frightening enemy units. Something with 25 morale may drop to 21 morale if it's being attacked by a giant enemy necromancer wearing a horror helmet, but something with 30 morale will stay at 30 morale. Still, fear may cause extra morale checks to occur, even on something with 30 morale...? I don't entirely know how that works.

No, that's specifically what I was talking about. I tested it--the shroud doesn't seem to provide the effects of blessing.

IOW, real gods already play on 10. They just can't turn it to 11 to give themselves that extra push over the cliff. (yes, I just mixed and matched Manowar and Spinal Tap references. Whatchagonna do about it, son ?) |

Or wouldn't he already have access to his power anyways (wouldn't a nature god, even if it was just a manticore, have the regeneration ability?) |

As for why gods don't carry their own bless effects: balance I guess, but you can handwave it away by accepting that all that godly power focused on itself doesn't necessarily have the same effect and properties it has when applied to actual living (or unliving, as the case may be) beings. |
Re: spell effects on pretenders?
Many of the special effects of blessing can very easily be applied by the god via spells, also. Any nature god that grants regeneration via blessing can very easily cast Personal Regeneration, given a small amount of research.
