Innate leadership has no effect on what items are needed for Awe.

To nail it down, a combined normal leadership of +100 from items gives Awe +0, only of interest for units that don't have Awe yet. Every +25 leadership after that increases Awe by an additional +1. Here are the items that give normal leadership:

+25:
Champion's Trident
Sceptre of Authority
Whip of Command
Sun Sword

+50:
O'al Kan's Sceptre
Twin Spear (both of them)
Sceptre of Corruption
Crown of Command

+100:
Crown of Overmight

An Ettin (three hand slots, two head slots) can get up to Awe +8 with that.

Hey, even you would freeze seeing an Etting with all those bauble on

@SlipperyJim: I bet mr Gandalf's talking bout the Wyrm at dom10, thus at Awe+2... The way we usually take it

I think a 4-armed god could get to Awe+9 then... Maybe we understood why the DoW doesn't come with Fear too, even if it would be thematical IMHO

They probably used modding to get that hero to show up in a recruitment screen.

P.S.: Yes, there's an undocumented way to get it, too. Dunno if I should document it here, though.

... the artifact Sunslayer does 8 AN damage to any non-undead in its 5-square AoE, and is NOT MR-resistable?

...Skullface gives undead leadership 10? This is useful if you want to Gateway some undead creatures to the front lines without giving the Rod of the Leper King to one of your powerful astral mages (thus diseasing him).

Skull Talisman gives undead leadership 1 but that's obviously not much good. The Rod of Death gives more (40?) but is an artifact.

...sometimes (though very rarely) the gurus and yogi of monkey nations reincarnates after they die. Sometimes in equal power but sometimes more (or less) powerful?

[Gregstrom]

Mostly less powerful. White Ones can reincarnate on occasion, too.

So a Wyrm can get +5? Awsome!
I wonder what the highest is for one of those 4-handed gods

How do you get to Awe +5 for a Wyrm? It has two head slots and no hand slots, so I think the best it can do is:

• Crown of Overmight (+100)
• Crown of Command (+50)

Combined bonus: +150

If lch has the formula right, that should be Awe +2, not Awe +5.

On the other hand, one of my Davanas (one head, four hands) could have:

• Crown of Overmight (+100)
• O'al Kan's Sceptre (+50)
• Sceptre of Corruption (+50)
• Twin Spear (both of them) (+50)

Combined bonus: +250

Again, if lch is right, the Davana gets Awe +6 from all of that. Nice, but I'm giving up a lot of slots that could be used for other things. Still ... good to know!

You didn't count that there's two Twin Spears. Maybe I should have written "either of them", they give +50 each. The combined leadership bonus would be +300, resulting in an Awe +8 like the Ettin.
