You also need to give them Winter's Gift. Just to be extra sure.

Sent my design one hour ago, but made a mistake with the email address. Should be up now.

Game is on.

Gotta say, the lvl3 thrones being this toxic will make for some tough decision making.

Big win for those of us living in the dump, I say.

At a glance, we have some heavy blesses and high dominions floating around.

Edit: Not that that's unexpected with our nation list!

Ugh, FINE, I'll do my turn and make a tea-leaf-reading comment while I do it. 'Cause I TOTALLY wasn't gonna do one anyway.

Spoiler: The thrones: (click to show/hide)
Whoever was asking for lots of mage-thrones certainly took luck scales.

Spoiler: The pretenders (click to show/hide)
Honestly, I almost feel like there's no need to break these down. They're all telegraphed pretty clearly. No explicit conflicts over domains, for once.

I've no idea how to read these. And I suppose I've never cared to learn. E.g. what am I supposed to be?

I also never learned to read these, but intuitively: Fire bless, turmoil and magic scales.

Yeah, that sounds reasonable, though that also sounds astrally - which would fit with the Maharishi pretender name.

I mean, you pretty much have to look at https://illwiki.com/dom5/pretender-titles. Kailasa's titles imply a rainbow bless, for instance. (Fire, water, sorcery paths)

Fine, I can do a proper breakdown. I was just gonna vibe on it, but... fine. So:


I will add that there are a few titles among our pretenders that the linked list does not include, and there are also a few unknown requirements on some of the titles that were listed. [Edit: hmm, at least some of the missing ones ARE in the Epithet Explorer, though. I'll add the ones I just caught.]

[I feel reasonably comfortable with the accuracy my initial impressions of the list as far as paths and dominion went, but my uncertainty WRT the scale implications made me reluctant to actually try to spell out those impressions.]

Hey, did you know you get to choose blesses with only 3 points in a school, as long as you are a rainbow in the relevant meta-school (elemental or sorcery)? I didn't know that.

Yeah, that was an early change after they introduced customizable blesses to make rainbows more worthwhile. I nearly did that last game for a broad-spectrum resistance bless.
