CBM1.3 help

[GrudgeBringer]

I understand CBM1.3 contains Worthy Heroes.

From my understanding LUCK plays a BIG deal in Worthy Heroes on how many Heroes IF any that you would get.

If you have Luck 3 you get a lot, If you have Misfortune 3 you get 0.

So I ask if I am to play Helheim EA and just don't have the points for Luck should I even try them (or any nation) with CBM on?

Another NOOB question, I see in the manual under suggestions of Pretenders that it may say "Take a dragon F9 & A9 awake.

I was just messing around with scales ect and I don'T see HOW you can get Fire with 9 icons and Air with 9 icons and have ANY scales at all, especially it he's awake.

I know the manual isn't the best source but you would think it would be somewhat realistic.

So how would you design a pretender, say for Helheim EA, or even R'yleh EA with CBM 1.3 on?

Thanks...........
