Almighty Lord Kroak (Hero version)
"Slowly, indomitably, impossibly, the mummified hand lifted in defiance. From behind the golden mask came a single word. His was the power cosmic, and energies from beyond the stars were his to command again."
One of the few moments/ story ideas of the dreaded "End Times" that I actually liked, was Lord Kroak just casually being able to will himself back to life in the face of grave danger to the world he was created to protect.
Based on that idea Lord Kroak, sensing the danger to the Lizardmen and the World of IE, decides it is time to return to the first Children of the Old Ones, leading them to oppose Chaos and finally fulfill the Great Plan. Being restored, he starts to "remember" and use more of his powers of old, once again "spouting forth spells that are the preserve of gods"!
At this point this is a completely overpowered "fun"-mod, since I just wanted to see if I can get it to work. Being perversely overpowered (as an awakened Lord Kroak should be!) the process must be slow and only useable in the late-stage of a campaign. It adds several new skills, unlocking increasingly powerful effects and spells.
The current figures are subject to change, as I attempt to keep at least a minimum of balance between flashy, stupidly overpowered fun and boring invincibility.

Automatic Effects:

– Conduit of the Old Ones: Augment of the Winds – Mighty Lord Kroak, to whom the very fabric of reality is but clay to be formed according to the Old One´s design, is able to draw upon the Winds of Magic like few outside the Gods themselves.
In time I would like a version where it is a real ingame-process using the new dilemma- and ascension-mechanics, befitting of the first of the Slann, but since this is my first exposure to modding, currently I frankly do not have the skills/ knowledge to tinker with those. I can´t promise that I will get there anytime soon.
(Since it is not my first language, I hope my english is not too much of a pain to read.)
