I think because it would generally be a waste of time to use your pretender seducing the enemy army one at a time

Not if your god was a super seducer.

And we have an assassin god. Its the same thing, really.

Sounds good to me! I don't think it would be overpowered, since Aezeal says, most people would consider it a waste of time.

It would be thematic for a lot of the Greek-style pretenders. And more people might actually use the Great White Bull as their god!

I'd like to see it on:

Lord of Fertility
Great White Bull
Lady of Love
Lord of Rebirth
Allfather
Son of the Sea
Lord of the Wild
Void Lord
maybe the Titans
Phoenix

(Okay, Phoenix is a joke.)

It's fairly useless on males, honestly. So few female commanders...

And Void lord should probably get belial's corruption or something similar instead.

Vfb no offence but have you actually thought about that list or just randomly picked some pretenders?

Offense taken

I put the Void Lord in because of the "get impregnated by a Great One" theme for Rlyeh.

I didn't spend a huge amount of time thinking about it, but the rest are also what I thought to be thematic. Aezeal, is there something on the list that you think is unthematic? Or something missing? Or is it the impracticality of male seducers? What do you want added, the Great Mother and the Gorgon?

Allfather, Titans, son of the sea and even the great white bull wouldn't be on my list

Zeus once took the form of a white bull and seduced a king's daughter. The offspring was none other than the famous Minotaur. Actually, pretty much all of the Greek Gods do the Seduction thing on a regular basis. Thats probably where vfb is getting his suggestions.

The Minos and Europa myths of Greece provide plenty of justification for the Bull being in the list. It was the first one I thought of when I saw K's post!

Poseidon fathered about 50 heroes in Greek mythology, so that's why I put the Son of the Sea on the list.

I'm pretty sure the Titans were at least as active sexually as the Olympians. Though I don't know if there were any "head to Earth and seduce the ladies" stories.

I added Odin (Allfather) because he wasn't any slouch in the bedroom either. Something like 20 sons, right?
