LA - Ermor - Ashen Empire: Pretenders

yes......cheap god, problem with that idea is, LE Ermor is not about cheap gods, you always can make expensive ones as you can afford negative scales a lot. So this potential of a cheap SC or just a cheap god seems wasted.

I had very good results with PoD and Ghostking as well. But they are not immortal and especially PoD does cost more. PoD has flying but is not stealthy and cannot go underwater without items like ghostking. And he just spawns very few useless longdead, of wich LE ermor has more than enough, while Ghost king spawns ghosts wich have life drain and ethereal and his magic paths are cheaper too + can go underwater.

Anyways, while these can be useful too, i think more choices would be nicer. Jortundheim alone has 2 unique UNDEAD pretenders. Dracolich and BogMummy....Ermor has the lichqueen, but the lichqueen is nothing but a normal lich with higher dominion, with slightly weaker stats, meaning she is not really that unique.

You mean no one in their right mind would choose him while trying to be competitive? True.

The best way to get new gods for LA ermor is to dream up something that's so awsome the devs cant resist adding it.

Regarding the paths on these choices... I'd add Earth 2 or 3 if affordable. Site searching uncovers those Gem Deposits and other gold producers, good for a gold-starved nation that Ermor generally turns into. (Real luck could turn up a hidden fortress, too... most helpful...)
Also, in one of the D2 mods (Battlemages, I believe it was called), there was one called the Reaper with a "Reap Souls" AoE death attack... the whole group in this mod was aligned for rainbow-types. D,S 4 and a bunch of 2s and 3s could turn this into a complete master caster in the mid-game. Anyone want to adjust that mod for use in D3?

Well, the paths were just an expierement for the lord of the gates to be used as SC later. Air for mistform, air shield, mirror immage, nature for gift of health(with item) or fairy queen cast and regeneration. Fire for falling fires and phoenix pyre. High death for cause fear and soul vortex.

I stopped to use rainbow pretenders with ermor, you can make some dusk elders and some have air, earth, astral, fire, water and search with these. they usually find nature mages too in some forest provinces, enchantress or witch has nature and earth combined and is sacred so you can afford some even wih ermor.

I just would like to see some unique cool new gods for LE Ermor fitting in their theme and ashen empire description, even if they are not competetive. Any suggestions are welcome.
