Asphodel), they may gain magic paths on returning to unlife. Additionally, if their Twiceborn shape has any attunement bonus (e.g. Pretender Gods with the Twiceborn status do not suffer any risk to lose magic or dominion score upon their return as Wight Mages. If a Pretender God has been Polymorphed or Transformed into a form which would not allow it to return without dying, such as an Aquatic shape for a land nation, or a non-water breathing shape for an underwater nation, it will return in its original shape. Upon a Pretender God's return, a heal check is rolled against any Afflictions they picked up, including Disease, but not the Cursed status or Horror Marks. If you have lost your capital province the pretender will spawn outside the walls. If you own the province the Pretender will spawn inside the fort - even if your capital is under siege. Your Pretender God once recalled will always appear in your capital province. There is also about a 20% chance for a pretender to gain either 1 Death, 1 Astral, or 1 Blood magic on recall, in addition to any other effects. Nature magic is the most likely to be lost (~80-90%), death the least likely. If the pretender had no magic paths, it will automatically lose one point of dominion strength. The chance of losing a magic path is (in tests 80% with any nature paths). Unless the god is immortal (and wasn't killed by Soul Slay) or its nation is Ur /Uruk, death can result in the potential loss of one level of a magic path to a limit of 0, biased or the loss of a point of Dominion, to a base level of 1. Any Disciple nation's priests can also help recall the main Pretender God, but not other Disciples than their own nation's.ĭeath comes with a price though. In Disciples games, the priests of the Pretender God can assist in recalling any dead Disciple God on their team. Priests with an Elegist bonus, or working with a claimed Throne of the Pantokrator receive additional priest levels for this purpose. The amount of recall points generated is according to Loggy's tests.

To bring back a Pretender God which has died, around 50 priest-level turns must be spent using the Call God command to recall them. Instead you can recall it using your priests. If a pretender dies it is not permanently dead.
