I'll just give them #noleader. Pretty sure that removes all leadership regardless of paths.

Hrm...have you tried that? Not sure about #noleader specifically, but #noundeadleader (the undead leadership equivalent) says the unit "cannot lead undead units when it is a commander (unless it is a death or blood mage). This is the default." [emphasis mine] That implies that the leadership value will just be a baseline 0 adjusted by the normal B/D magic modifiers.

As a test (don't have a game machine avail. at the moment) someone could B or D empower a scout to see whether it gains undead leadership.

Actually stavis I don't think that test would work

However, as it happens I'm playing a game with Jomon, Broken Swords at the moment, and they have death mages with no undead leadership. Looking at the mod file it seems sombre accomplished this by giving them the #noleader tag. The only question that remains in my mind is whether they'll cast raise dead or not.

So I've finally gotten around to testing this now. Death mages who have no undead leadership WILL cast raise dead and the like, even if there are no friendly mages on the battlefield with undead leadership. Predictably, when they raise the dead, the dead disintegrate due to lack of undead leadership. Kind of a pain.
