Point well taken, and let me comment a bit for some more feedback.

Yeah, I did.

I find that more dwarf than human

I really didn't see it - I can see being impossible to kill
with enough preps/potions, but killing a lich...ya well, I
guess I'm short sighted.

You nailed it, and it's really the reason I deleted.

Yup

If you gave me or anyone a god super god form that did massive
damage but was reduced to 'cast immune' and 'murder @target',
I still wouldn't like it. I'm sneaky, I'm tactical, and a paladin
just isn't me - morally and offensively. Especially after having
a ram, I wanted more so it just wasn't fun for me. I'm sorry if
I didn't live up to expectations, but I didn't want to keep
Crovax.

>my $.02...take it or leave it as you chose.

It's taken and thanks for the conversation Shokai - you made me
realize a lot, but I just wasn't up for the challenge with Crovax.
