Rainbow Mage

[Davadin]

So I have a general idea of what this term means, but I'm curious if it has an exact definition.

I'm also curious about when people feel like they are the correct choice for a pretender.

Thanks!

A rainbow mage has most magic paths, and 4 or more points in a one or more paths, at the expense. of course, of dominions points, preferable scales, etc.

I played a solo game with the Great Enchantress, who gerenates an astral pearl every turn. I won, too. That was some years ago, playing DOM3.

The Enchantress can learn new magic paths cheap, which makes her a good rainbow.

Just curious, is there a way to increase dominion strength of your pretender outside of creation?

Yup. For every 5 temples you own, your dominion strength increases by 1.

Oh, I hate having to spend a ton of points on it in creation.

I do too. From my understanding, it's probably more important in multiplayer. In single player, you can probably manage your dominion easier, and use temples to summplement.

If your starting dominion value is high enough, your Pretender gets the Awe stat, which can be really, really useful if you're making a powerful fighting-based god.
