Default Weak pretenders game

This game will be PBEM over llamaserver, maybe starting Tuesday of next week. I'll get a wraparound map from gandalf or use his scripting instructions to make one of my own.

The rule is - you will be randomly assigned a pretender designed by someone else . Game will be late era, with standard rules (unless anyone has a good reason why not.)

These are the design rules:
* Pretenders must be mobile and awake.
* Their domstr must be at least 5, and cannot be more than 6 points greater than base domstr.
* Their net scales (excluding temperature) cannot be negative.
* You cannot take both turmoil and misfortune.
* You must have the correct temperature for the nation in question.
* You cannot take a pretender with blood for a nation with no blood on their national recruitable mages.
* The number of new paths you are allowed to add are restricted by the new path cost of the pretender:
- 10 - as many new paths as you want.
- 20 - 4 new paths
- 30 - 3 new paths
- 40 - 2 new paths
- 50+ - 1 new path
* Special rules for LA Ermor: Nevermind,

* IMPORTANT ONE I FORGOT: If you have unspent points left over, the player who gets the pretender can spend them if they wish. So spend all your points.

* Rules may be extended if I think you're too clever .

Submitted so far:
* DrPraetorious, LA Marignon - Freak Lord, domstr 5, 3 fortune, 3 order, 2 sloth, 3 death, 1 drain, 7F1B.
* Zaramis, LA Man - Master Druid, domstr 7, 3 order, 3 sloth, 3 death, 1 luck, 2 magic, 7N.
* Starshine_Monarch, LA Pangaea - Crone, domstr 7, 2 turmoil, 2 productivity, 3 death, 3 magic, F2A3W3E3S2D1.
* BigDisAwesome, LA Mictlan - Freak Lord, domstr 7, 3 productivity, 1 heat, 3 death, 3 misfortune, 3 magic, 2F2A3W2S3N3B.

Just post the description here. You can feel free to revise it and make it worse as more suggestions poor in .

The Nation/Pretender combo that you design will be randomly assigned to one of the players - you will never get your own design. Since it's PBEM, there will be no passwords set, I'll actually make and send in the pretender files and then change the e-mail addresses in the server config after the pretenders are loaded.

The goal, of course, is to make the weakest pretender possible, since one of your opponents will be using it. There will be extra props for the designer of the pretender who is crushed most completely.

Enjoy!
