If you're saying that you're trying to avoid having a whole bunch of any particular type of pretender, I don't think you have too much to worry about with the Nataraja. (Yes, there was apparently some furor about the Rat, er, Nat, being over powered, but that was patently untrue - until the very late game, only Arco can really capitalize on a Nat.)

If anything - T'ien C'hi should be allowed a Nat, and not Arco, because oriental mythology is full of 4-armed deities, and T'ien C'hi is the only nation that really reeks of being oriental. (More Chinese / Buddhist than Indian / Hindu, where a Nataraja would be 110% thematic, if only it were female, but....)

And so - does "All there my houserule" mean that he can't take a Rataraja? (It isn't quite a sentence in English - please explain.)

And no - I ain't him. I ain't Norfleet either.

And I for samn dure ain't Stormbinder!

(Who is more likely to be Norfleet than anyone else, really, given they both have such a monomaniacal insistence on people not quitting games... *grin*)
