Fear will be no use against a pretender - they never break.

Someone tell my gods that then!

I have seen plenty of gods leg it! Usually I am pretty happy they run away as well, otherwise they would have died.

Yeah, I use naked SC Gods quite a bit, and they do a good job of running away.

I think Llamabeast might be confusing that with the fact that immortals in positive dominion are not suppose to retreat.

Nope nope, they run away when your army is reduced to 25% of its original hitpoints, but they won't run away from fear.

In the case of a lone SC god, the 25% rule means they run away when close to death.

Fear, the ability, or a morale check?

I've definitely had Gods run away from morale checks when above 25%

Jazzepi, immortal gods or regular ones. Lamabeast is only talking about immortal gods in their own dominion. All non-immortal gods are subject to fear and moral checks. They souldn't break as easily due to their 30 moral score, but they do indeed break.

No, he's talking about all pretenders.

If either 'side' wants to prove what they're talking about they need only run a couple of simple tests.

If you've got full magic, as Agartha I'd try Petrify in Earth magic.

As I recall if they fail their MR check it's instant death (unless they're already made of stone, and some other cases - a Wyrm should be petrifiable), if they pass their roll they still get paralysed, which makes them much less troublesome.
