| A bless is a set of enhancements and bonuses that apply to a nation's [[scared]] commanders and units. The effects of a bless can include bonuses to [[units-attributes|units' attributes]], [[special abilities and resistances|unit-abilities]] and enhancements to weapons. Most bless effects are activated in combat by blessing a unit, but some apply continually. | A bless is a set of enhancements and bonuses that apply to a nation's [[sacred]] [[commander|commanders]] and units. The effects of a bless can include bonuses to [[units-attributes|units' attributes]], [[unit-abilities|special abilities]], [[physical-resistance|physical]] and [[elemental-resistance|elemental]] damage resistances, and enhancements to weapons. Most bless effects are activated in combat by blessing a unit, but some apply continually. |
| |
| When creating a [[pretender|pretender]], a number of options are available for bless effects. The choice of effects is tied to a prentender's [[magic#magic-paths|magic paths]], and are an important part of pretender design. Each magic path on the pretender above 4 confers a number of bless points equal to the corresponding path level. Having 3 in all elemental or sorcery paths also enables bless points for those paths. Bless points can then be spent on the effects listed below. Some effects require certain [[scales|scale]] choices in addition to magic paths. Some options can be taken multiple times, which causes their effects to stack. | When creating a [[pretender|pretender]], a number of options are available for bless effects.
