Man - Pretender template request

[st.patrik]

I gotta disagree with the idea of giving your Man pretender a lot of Air. Frankly I think it's a waste of points when you can forge yourself a Staff of Storms or research to Arrow Fend pretty easily.

I also think Water 9 is nice but not the best idea. Now if you could take Water 9 *and* Air 9 that would be pretty nice, but either one on their own is, IMHO, not the best blessing you can get.

[BTW I am thinking Last of Tuatha here, not so much regular Man]

The great weakness of the Daoine Sidhe is that they fight with spears, which have a very hard time getting through thick armour. IMHO that is the biggest need for a bless effect - greater strength.

However, Blood isn't a great match for Man, so I usually go for Nature (berserk gives +str). That way if the Sidhe are hit they become more dangerous, rather than simply getting killed rather quickly.

Regular Man is a different story - those greatswords have no problem cutting through thick armour just as they are.
