Would this work?

You don't need to have "" with numbers. Other than that, it looks like it should work. However, boost his hits a little. He is a pretender, and a Smith, after all.


Also, you don't need to define *everything*. Leave out the #spr and #spr2 if you don't want the picture to change, #noundeadleader is not needed unless you are modding something to lose that ability, etc.

spr's are empty because I don't have any sprites.

BTW, I forgot the #clear and #clearspec in that pretender.

I would say Sky Smith is more a Titan than a mere mortal. That would mean that either Son of Niefel without a shield or a Titan with a hammer could be used as sprite with some recoloring. Or, if you do want to keep him as human, maybe resized Son of Niefel with different color would be enough.

I was thinking more in the lines of one guy who made some strange thingy that spewed money and salt...

[Endoperez]

Oh, *that* smith. I thought the Air part was more about forging the sky than having Air magic. He forged a warship, a crossbow and a magic cow before succeeding in Sampo, and crafted the golden bride, so I quess he is just a Rainbow mage with hefty Forge bonus.

I would go with Forge bonus 40 or 45, and possibly make him start with A1E1 and path cost 10.. Air is for forging the sky, Earth for forge bonus and mastery over steel, and the cheap paths give the option of going to almost any direction or item.

While you are at it, you might want to add the Great Songmaker, special version of the Hag that transforms not to werewolf but to huge bird, and possibly few others as well. I would have used them as heroes, though.

BTW, the Feller of the Tree would make an interesting hero. Stats of a Giant or Firbolg, spr1 of hoburg and spr2 of attacking Niefel or an axe-wielder of similar size...
