Default Re: Holy magic for Pretenders

Because of the title as it is, it is misleading and therefore some people might not read it at all, mistaking it for general "whining" about giving pretenders holy magic, instead of a rather interesting discussion of ideas.

I do agree that it would certainly by interesting if there were god specific spells for priests. For example, if you have a snake-god of somekind, the priests might have a Holy 2 spell that gives poison resistance to a bunch of units, or summons a handful of snakes to the battle, or what-have-you.

Of course, this would not fit some pretenders too well(like the mage types) and for others it would be very thematic(the giant "god-like" pretenders). Then again, these kinds of things are already somewhat included in the nations themselves. If you take a mage pretender for Ulm that grants magic-bonuses, that would be stupid, or take the Forge Lord for Mictlan(Bad example, since you can't). Most pretenders are already placed on the nations in a manner that suits them thematically, but adding pretender-specific spells to the mix might be not-so-good in some cases.
