Nanshe

You can click on Nanshe in the Annuna family tree and she seems to be a full legend 12 diety, but her name is in white suggesting she isnt playable.  Whats the deal with that?

In order to get pantheons out as quickly as possible, Anne is often hard at work on family trees before we are done with extensive research, and done arguing and bitching at each other about god choices.  Since Anne had already written the full pdf for the Anunna she made pages for each of the gods she had already done.  However we have different levels of scrutiny for which gods we put in a pdf vs which we would let be playable to our players or put on the website.

When all was said and done, we agreed Nanshe wasnt legend 12, but she already had that big beautiful god page, and it seemed silly to take it down(especially when we planned one day to give as many gods as possible god pages even if they werent legend 12).  Plus thatd be a pretty shitty thing to do after anne had worked so hard on it.

So Nanshe stays up, but is listed as not playable(a misnomer actually, because all gods are playable....you just might not get as many associateds as you might like).  If you search around youll find several other gods much like her.  Debris from our researching, arguing, and discovery.

  1. In the case of Nanshe, what would her actual sub 12 associations be?

    1. I'd go with Intelligence and Water if you were using her as Legend 10ish. Add Animal (Fish) for Legend 11.

    2. Id make her legend 10 and give her prophecy and water.

    3. See, this is why we have to work on stuff together before it's available for print. :)
