 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.  A bless is a set of enhancements and bonuses that apply to a nation's [[sacred]] [[commander|commanders]] and units.

-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.

 Additionally, the more powerful effects are //incarnate// only, activating only when the pretender god is present on the tactical map. These effects will be inactive both before the pretender awakens, and while the pretender is dead. Additionally, the more powerful effects are //incarnate// only, activating only when the pretender god is present on the tactical map.

 Thunder weapons can stun for 1 round (-75% defense skill).
