Playing my first MP game as TNN

If you're planning on using Sidhe Lord raiders, you don't have a lot of pretender options. They really need the E9Nx bless. You can make up the Reinvig/regen/protection with gear, but that boosts the cost of each one.

You don't really need a SC god, but it's going to be expensive to get that bless and decent astral. It's vanilla, so you'll be able to clam and you've got the paths for it.
I'd go for astral rather than death on your pretender, since death is easier to bootstrap. Remember, 1/10 Wolf Tribe Shamans have death. That's enough to start site searching.
