How do you use the Prince of Death for very early game expansion?

There are other, better pretenders (with more hp) if you want an early game, no magic pretender (Wyrm, for example). Every pretender does not surely have to fit every role.

Definately - but he wasn't asking about a no-magic pretender, but only about not having to rainbow the PoD. Starting with Death Magic skill of 3 is hardly no-magic.

And of course, adding to the Death, taking it up to 5 or 6 or 9 is certainly an option for being able to use the more powerful death magics, with much less fatigue in combat.

But in my experience, I found that a PoD who sticks solely to death magic has to be used very carefully in the early game, else you wind up with a crippled PoD, which isn't much fun at all.
