My God is dead

Hi all.

If my God is dead in a battle with some afflictions, when he return with my priest (praying) he return with this afflictions or no?.

Thnks all

From what I remember, a pretender who is called back returns with the afflictions, but there is also a chance of some of them being removed. And of course he also looses 1 from all his magic paths (doesn't affect blessing).

Don't quote me on the affliction part though. Just remembered reading it from somewhere.

I'm pretty sure anytime someone returns from death, they have a chance of healing afflictions (immortals, twice-born, forced shape-shifts, etc)

I have verified this is true in Dominions and in real life.

Well immortals always have a % chance of healing afflictions, and we know forced shape-shifts have a chance. But I didn't know about twice-born.

Did anybody test this twice-born effect or is it all hearsay?

I think I've seen it, but that qualifies as hearsay. Call God does have a healing chance.
I'd assumed that any of the "recover from being killed" options have the chance. You're too likely to wind up with crippling afflictions from your "death" otherwise.

Perhaps it is different for pretenders. They do get strange benefits.

I assumed that all of those actions gave the unit one free successful heal check to each affliction. Witch might or might not heal the affliction.

Twiceborn is a forced shape-shift and I've seen afflictions vanish in Dominions3. I haven't tested twice-born in real life because as an immortal I would have to leave my dominion to die, losing my immortality plus the chill effect from the wight-mage form would scare away my girlfriend.

I've watched an AI god get killed over and over and over (I owned his home province and the AI kept calling him back to promptly die again.) He consistently had a few afflictions (generally 4-5) but they would tend to change over time.
