Just a quick note about scripting the change. Try to make sure your pretender is in the correct form before Hosting. I've foolishly left my pretender in Dragon form with a scripted shift -> Attack! order. Rather embarassing to watch my Druid form race into the enemy lines...

Heehee. Been there, done that.
In fact I remember in early discussions about dragon pretenders that a tactic suggested was to attack a dragon-held province with some magical summons such as Call of the Wild, or maybe an assassination, then follow it with an army.

On the other hand I think that when a dragon completes his 5 scripted orders he will do the automatic form-change if he is hit.

I also tried that I forgot to change form and my little tiny druid hasted into battle and got 'THUDed'
But he didn't changed into dragon form as the describtion said when he got hurt?
Also I would like to know more about the scripting orders part. When I set my tatic(s) on my pretender god there is only these option like: fire, attack, etc. etc. Is there something more advance like you guys are talking about?

Thanks

with best regards

One of the listed options says "Cast specific Spell". Clicking on this displays another menu with spells that can be cast. Selecting a spell closes the spell list and takes you back to the orders list. You can click "Cast specific Spell" again to select another spell to que.
