What I'd like to see is more options than just the Moloch for a F9 bless effect. The Moloch is rather antithematic for several nations.
For rainbow pretenders, a Master Bard would be a cool addition. A mage that makes magic through music, and might have some special ability like animal awe, summoning random animals as a Summon Allies option or something similar.
How about a nature/astral mage antihero from another world that starts with a leprosy affliction/disease? He gradually gains more magical power as the game progresses while his body is wasting away . . . .
Won't work with a non-undead or non-demon pretender unless it has insane hit points, and I'm not too fond of the idea of having a whiny, self-centered arsehole like Thomas Covenant further immortalized in Dom3.
I'll admit that the inspiration for the Master Bard idea did have its roots in Wurts's Wars of Light and Shadow and the character of Arithon s'Ffalenn, but the concept is far older and archetypical than that.

Lol, I was wondering if someone would see the connection.
