Pretender God ideas!

Won't work with a non-undead or non-demon pretender unless it has insane hit points, and I'm not too fond of the idea of having a whiny, self-centered arsehole like Thomas Covenant further immortalized in Dom3.

Lol, I was wondering if someone would see the connection.

hehehe He probably needs to have a White Gold ring as permanent equipment, too.

How about Cthulhu for R'lyeh, tentacles, wings and all . And maybe some more kinds of dragons. Here's some others;

Insect Lord : A nature/death mage that rides on a large beetle. Automatically summons swarms of Dragonflies in combat.

Undying Tyrant : C'tis pretender. A massive undead T-Rex with high death magic. Spreads diease in the province he's in.

Master Engineer : Ulm pretender. Earth/astral mage that fights in a titanic suit of clockwork armor. Great bonus added to sieges.

Dragon Lord : Combat pretender that rides a Wyvern. Can ritually summon Draconians to aid him.

Well that's all I can think of right now.

Wizard of Hunger: A long time ago this wizard succumbed to the curse of hunger as he wandered the lands in search of magic. The vile act corrupted him forever, but he retained he skills, and the vile curse made him only stronger. He can harvest one death gem in a month and hungry Ghouls flock to him when his dominion is strong.

A ghoul mage, starts with 1E 1D

Master Illusionist The Master Illusionist is an Illusionist of exceptional power. He has gained such great power through his trickery that he has mastered his own mortality. Now he draws plots for godhood. He is accompanied by illusionary warriors in combat. He can create exceptionaly permanent illusions when his dominions is strong.

An illusionist RB pretender, has glamour, air magic and summons illusionary soldiers in combat. He also domsummons them.

A Ghoul Mage would be interesting. I also like the master illusionist, since there is currently no air-based rainbow pretender.

For oriental/Arabic type nations, a Djinn or Efreet pretender would be cool. Probably a mid-level SC with decent magics. Primaries would be air for djinn, fire for efreet, secondary could be either astral for both or water for djinn, earth for efreet.

A Lord of the Volcano would be another possible earth fire combo, but this one would have to be on the Titan/Giant Humanoid template and a rather expensive one given how good the earth/fire bless combo is. It could also offer a good alternative to the blindingly obvious Moloch-only option for fire bless effect.

But the Djinn is in the lamp!

Well, there is Caelum's national one.

The Arch Seraph, yes. Haven't forgotten that one, but I'd like the option of having a more generic air rainbow pretender as well. Wouldn't mind generic ones for all of the elements, especially if pretender selection can be assigned at the nation level like troop assignment (and could be changed by modding).
