Question: most games with human only pretenders define "human" as anything with a path cost of 10. For purposes of this game does the Great Warlok count as a "human"?

In case that no water nations are wanted i take Caelum since only Caelum + Mictlan are left and i played Mictlan too often in the past and am bored by the MM with them.

I just wanted to test if hoarding is possible with these settings with Ryleh. My first hoarding attempt with CB 5 has failed miserably btw as YC can tell

He has pretty much the regular human stats and he is mortal so I would vote that the Great Warlock is ok. Additionally, Ulm's Master Alchemist and the Pythium Divine Emperor are also fine.

I have a question tho: Is the C'tis Serpent Lord or Mict Smoking Mirror acceptable? They have human stats but apparently can shapechange if wounded?

Hmm.... Its a really close call but I suppose I wouldnt. Plus it wouldnt be fair to force all the other nations to pick strictly human pretenders and then let Man/Ctis/Mict pick pretenders that were tougher. Ok, so lets say no to all the almost-human shapechanger types.

Smoking Mirror definately wouldn't be "human" - 20 point paths, and I guess I'd agree that the shapechangers should be out. Abysia and Jotunheim, well, I think we all know what pretender they'll take but they are human, at least for that race. Hmm. I don't much like the point cost for those two though - should be at least 10 or 20 points higher, imo (Elder Skratti : 42 HPs, immune to cold, a magic path for 45 points, Abysia's Great Warlock 23 HPs, immune to fire, radiates heat, 2 starting magic paths, 2 dominion, 35 points).

man, everyone in abysia radiates heat. It would be death to not at least be immune.

anyway, yeah, dragons have human forms too, and they sure as heck aint human.

the skratti shouldn't be allowed. he's not human...
probably true for the warlock as well, though he doesn't really bother me, except for his starting dominin

humans are human. path cost 10, starting dominion 1, hps in the lower 20's max...
