Default Re: What was the rationale in making pretenders un-Blessable?

Still, an auto-casting of Divine Blessing wouldn't be unreasonable. The presence of your god might be enough to make the sacred beings feel the power of his blessing, even though it stems more from themselves then from their god.

It avoids giving the pretender priestly power, particularly the undead/demon ones, and still presents the pretender as something almost divine. A true symbol of their faith.

In regards to game balance, the ability to enter battle already blessed might be enough reason for some bless nations to choose mobile gods over the fountains, or dormant gods over the imprisoned.
