I agree that he suffers by comparison to the theurg acolyte, though. Theurg acolytes are one of the most cost-effective researchers in the game (sacred halves their upkeep), especially in a magic scale.

He has only 11 HP and prot 12. I'm unsure I would put a magical item on him.

I overlooked something though : the indep priest is now down to command 10, whereas the deacon remained at 25. Can explain why someone rose his price from 80 to 90. But I think he was overpriced in dom I, so letting him remain at 80 was just putting him again in balance.
