Default Re: MA Ermor pretender design

I'd say definitely O3, as for misf, it depends on how badly you need the points. misf3 is a big no, no in my book, but 0, 1 and 2 are all viable depending on what else you need the points for. keep in mind that you have H3 priests, and in MA only 2 nations can blood sacrifice, so that's as good as it'll get. however your H3 priests will mostly be animating Longdead Horsemen, so ideally they won't do a lot of preaching. still, if fighting against an opponent with a strong dominion, you will have the tools to fight it. another thing is that it will be worth it to get good scales for you, and that will also harm your enemies. so cold3 might be a good option for you, maybe along with Death, to make it a serious pain for enemies to fight inside your dominion.

as for your actual pretender, MA Ermor has great mages but mostly S+D, only 25% chance to get W1/A1 on your Grand Thaumaturgs and 0.25% to get another level of any of them. so basically you want a rainbow. you have many options for rainbows, but I'd at least consider a few things:
1. at least E3S2 for hammers and coins, might as well go for 4 for the MR bonus to your sacreds, and easier access to RoS+RoW.
2. you have nice sacreds, especially the Shadow Vestals, a minor bless for them would be a great addition to your undead hordes.
3. you have death covered, but you might want a point or 2 of it on your pretender for site searching purposes and later for cross path spells(such as summoning Anthrax, the Banefire King).
