Pretender God ideas!

[Gandalf Parker]

You could do it but how would you go about having no ugly-looking sprites?

You could set it up right from the beginning as "this is my mod and everyone can contribute but I will decide what goes in". Or something like "only a limited number will go in so we will vote on the ones we like best". Both of those would save you the trouble of telling someone that their sprites are ugly.

I see someone has a good taste in books, sandman
Although I'd be a little more true to the book if I designed him.

What I'd like to see is more options than just the Moloch for a F9 bless effect. The Moloch is rather antithematic for several nations.

For rainbow pretenders, a Master Bard would be a cool addition. A mage that makes magic through music, and might have some special ability like animal awe, summoning random animals as a Summon Allies option or something similar.

How about a nature/astral mage antihero from another world that starts with a leprosy affliction/disease? He gradually gains more magical power as the game progresses while his body is wasting away . . . .

Won't work with a non-undead or non-demon pretender unless it has insane hit points, and I'm not too fond of the idea of having a whiny, self-centered arsehole like Thomas Covenant further immortalized in Dom3.

I'll admit that the inspiration for the Master Bard idea did have its roots in Wurts's Wars of Light and Shadow and the character of Arithon s'Ffalenn, but the concept is far older and archetypical than that.

Lol, I was wondering if someone would see the connection.

hehehe He probably needs to have a White Gold ring as permanent equipment, too.
