Default Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender

This is beside the point but come to thing of it, the rational that pretenders with some advantage that are only available for some of the nations should be disqualified might apply to some more human pretenders.

For example the alchemist. Alchemy by itself is a clear advantage and he's only available to a few nations.

I guess it has to do with wether the idea behind having human pretenders is thematic or for balancing. Because for perfect balancing we might as well have all taken the same pretender. but that's not fun imo.

The game is fun and for sure I'd like to continue playing. I take it that this advantage isn't considered as a problem by fellow players, so I'll happily continue

The discussion behind no-shapeshifters centered more around the fact that shapeshifters are significantly more durable than the humans which were available to other nations. The Skratti also fell into this category.

Not a problem for me, either. But I felt a duty to report it to the community. Please continue on

btw ironhawk, did you like what I did with my artifact wardens? I figure a bow of accuracy makes them worthwhile.
Hehehe, yeah that was funny. I was surprised and pleased to see them in combat and they actually did a bit of damage. Didnt someone make an Artifact Warden prophet, too?

I think they make sense as prophets, considering how important the artifacts are... but Nifel Jarls are "cooler".

I'd only be able to play after work today.
So I'll probably be holding the hosting for some more eight hours or so.
