I've got an idea I have. All the Tien Ch'i mages are sacred so perhaps bless effects have a role to play.
The obvious one (
) is to take The Prince of Death with death9 and kill all my mages off (while blessed) and have them come back as 0 upkeep souless. Not so appealling for S&A as you would lose the flying from the Celestial masters but it would make the other Tien Ch'i mages much faster to move around. One of the best parts of this is that the PoD is a great pretender who doesn't cost much to boost.
Trouble is I haven't thought of a good way to kill my mages yet as Tien Ch'i. Breath of Winter on a mage surrounded by mates?
The other issue is what is the precision of a mage turned Souless like?
Earth could be strong with re-invigoration. Even earth4 would help those poor sleepy mages. Earth9 would be awesome for the Celestial Warriors but is very expensive.
Idea's, comments, criticism, appreciated.
