Default Re: horror mark on pretender

I'd say its definitely my preference that HM doesn't stick around after death, or at least cannot be lowered out of existence. Its just too annoying to deal with in long games. In short games you can deal with it, but in a long game it'll just be a nuisance the whole time.

In my mind, it'd make the experience more frustrating then fun.

Id rather it (as KO said) have it reduced but not removed upon death. Aslong as a pretenders spirit survives (which it must to be called back) i would expect the horror mark to remain. It isnt quite as easy to stack as it could be since its s2 iirc and quickness no longer lets you double cast.

I would also like to see it get lowered when a pretender dies, but not completely removed. We can't have the Horrors become completely irrelevant like in Dom 1/2

Perhaps the early Horror Mark spell should be MR negates and later on there would be a spell that Horror Marks regardless of resistance? Hmmm...

I don't even use SC pretenders but I do believe that the horror mark lasting beyond death takes a bit of fun out of the game. An option to turn off horror marking for pretenders should be available. If people like it, they can keep it, if they don't, they can remove it. That way everyone is happy.

Either that, or an elaborate in game ritual to remove a horror mark. Make it more difficult to remove than it is to get, but still make it possible.
