Pretender Balance Mod

Survivability is an issue, but besides that, she's cheaper, which is the entire problem. The difference in cost between an E4/S3/N4 Great Mother and an E4/S3/N4 Human Pretender is not significant enough for me to take the Human Pretender, when you consider that the Human Pretender has a 2 lower _base_ Dominion. The balance point is Dominion 5, where the difference in cost is only 7 points. Anything higher helps the Great Mother, who is _also_ the person who gains the most benefits from that Dominion. I see this as a balance issue.

You didn't post numbers about Earth Mother with those magics versus a human pretender most suited to the task, propably some kind of a druid for initial Nature magic. Also, I would be interested to see how Nagas compare. Could you please post the differences (in points) between the three?

Human pretenders really seem to be wrecked when going for fours... Maybe they should have their base magic sttarting from two, this would give them a chance to let them take four in atleast one path.
