A couple points about the Kami mod: there is a difference between the two foxes - black has a chance of doing an entrapment/tangle vines effect during combat, and the white one has a chance of cursing. I inferred this in their write ups, not stating it straight out, following illwinters style.

Ah. I saw that the descriptive text was different, but thought that it was Illwinter's other style - writing things up in the flavor text that don't actually have any effect in the game.

And yes, the god is shamefully overpowered. That is because I was just checking out all the features; I myself would not recommend using him either. As I recall, he also produces a couple astrals a turn as well!

Does he? I knew I should have played the Kami mod! The pretender was what almost convinced me to play the theme, but honor got the better of me. Looks like it could be fun to play in SP, but not quite fair for MP. (Then again, all is fair in love and war, so ... )

The dragons and ... shrines looked interesting too, but - 4 katanas all with an attack rating of 3 (or 4)? Struck me they might be able to hit some undead, or things that had been entangled or were unconscious, but otherwise would become exhausted fast without hitting anything. Maybe with a fire-9 blessing - were they sacred? Then again - they're meant for casting.

All in all, it looked interesting - just not quite right for MP. Hmmm. Maybe on the Kitsune, you could give each a new attack / weapon, so that the descriptive text on the weapon mentions chance of curse / entangle?

True, the graphics stink. I am not an artist, and am sure someone could come up with better. But I had a lot of fun creating that mod, and encourage anyone who has an idea to do one as well.

I didn't say a word about the graphics - I know I'd do _far_ worse. Hmmm. Maybe I should do a mod, while I'm still between jobs - mod the Jotuns for Ragnarok, with the Fenris Wolf, Midgard Serpent, and Loki all as either heroes or pretender chassis's. The evil giants of Norse mythology, destined to kill the gods, eat the sun, and have the world as street pizza.
