So after choosing Helheim, I had to build the pretender to go along with them. As I said, I wanted a bless with a very high defence bonus. Also, I wasn’t really fond of awoken super-combatants and prefered rainbow blesses with lots of little bonuses that added up for a strong bless.<\/p>\n

I needed then a pretender chassis with at least 1 point in water magic and cheap extra magic paths. Only the Frost Father fulfilled this requirement.<\/p>\n

So I took \"\" Water 9 for the +6 defence bonus. Expensive, but I really wanted to put up this defence strategy to the extreme. Also, even though it’s good not to be hit, it’s good to be able to hit too, so I took \"\" Fire for a +2 attack bonus. I also noticed how good it could be to have \"\" magical weapons, to negate either invulnerability or ethereal abilities. So I went straight for it. I also thought at the time that the \"\"\"\" Solar weapons stacked with the regular weapon (in fact, it is a completly separate attack), so I took it too. I would have rather taken some fire resistance and magic resistance instead if I had to rethink it.<\/p>\n

So I ended up with an interesting bless with +2 Attack, +6 defence, Magical weapons and Solar weapons.<\/p>\n

With the remaining points, Dominion 6 looked enough. I also wanted to avoid to have my sacred recruitment limited by Recruitment points, so I added Order 1. I was also afraid resources could be an issue, so I took Productivity 1 (which I would replace with Growth 1 if I had to do it again). Finally, I tried to open as many magic paths as possible and did spread some points between \"\" air, \"\" earth and \"\" death.<\/p>\n

My pretender was almost ready, I just needed a name to finish it. Not very inspired, I searched on Google translate how to say “Frost”\/”Cold” in some northern language. I found that “Kall” meant “Cold” in swedish. Looked good. So was born Lord Kall.<\/p>\n
