Re: C\'Tis - Miasma, Question about cold blodded
The progress page states that diseased has a new icon. Presumably this will make it easier to ignore on beings it doesn't affect (demons are also unaffected, as are lifeless beings).
So good MA C'tis pretenders include:
Anything coldblooded or with swamp survival won't get diseased. Wyrm, Father of Serpents, Lord of the Summer Plague, Mother of Serpents, Mother of Monsters, Green Dragon, Serpent King.
Anything undead, lifeless or demonic won't be affected by being diseased. Oracle, Sphinx, Fountain of Blood, Monolith, Prince of Death, Master Lich, Lich, Saurolich, Ghost King, Vampire Queen.
Anything immortal or recuperating will probably recover from the disease before it kills them, and eventually recover from any ailments it gives them. They may be inconvenienced for a while though. Phoenix is the only non-undead immortal available to MA C'tis.
That seems to me like it's actually quite a lot of pretenders (although obviously not all of them). Lord of the Gates, male Titan, Shedu, Mother of Rivers, Manticore, Cyclops, Red and Blue Dragons and most of the humanoids are vulnerable to Miasma and should probably not be chosen.
It might not hurt to give swamp survival to the Mother of Rivers, and maybe throw in a few more usable pretenders for MA C'tis (Moloch and Colossal Fetish would both be immune to Miasma and rather different from the currently available choices, for example), but they do have a pretty decent selection as is.
