There is no penalty if immortal pretenders die?

[Lach]

There is no penalty if your pretender dies in a friendly domain, other then respawning at your capital right? He dosent loose magic like non immortal pretends do when raised, right?

[tinkthank]

No, it will not lose magic paths. You may have an affliction or 3 (which will be healed in time), and one of these could be feebleminded -- then you have a temporary problem, but nothing like permanent loss.

[Cohen]

This if he dies in his own dominion.
If he/she get killed outside a normal Prtender Death procedure is applied(macig path loss and calling god back)

What kind of afflictions and how long do they Last?


I am a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE fan of death magic and the lich.... I cant bring myself to play any other pretender heh, I like to use em as a battle mage on the front lines.

you could try a vampire queen if not playing ermor which is even more useful than a lich
especially as marignon a phönix is very nice too .

Just the usual afflictions. A lich should be eligible for -- never-healing wound (hp penalty), crippled (speed penalty), chest wound (enc, str), arm loss (two of 'em; loss of slot, stats), eye loss (again, two; prec, lose all is VERY BAD), mute (LDR, magic), feeblemind (MR penalty, no magic), battle fright (morale penalty), diseased (irrelevant to undead) if memory serves. A lich has no tentacles or tail to lose, and while it does have a head to lose I don't recall it being able to -survive- that, so "lost a head" seems an unlikely affliction to appear.



All will heal slowly but automatically, courtesy of immortality, except for never-healing wound which can take a LONG time to heal (something like half the usual chance per turn for this one to vanish).
