The Freak Lord suffers from a slightly elevated chassis cost over the basic Archmage. He gains a Misc slot, but still has no feet. So slotwise, he's roughly comparable to the Crone, who gains an additional misc slot(4 total), loses a body slot, keeps feet.

However, he does come with no starting magic, and his trampling freak creature is basically useless: You'd subject a rainbow mage to the rigors of combat as a trampler? Even if you did want to convert him into an SC, a trampler is hardly the way to go: Tramplers are lousy SCs due to difficulty in controlling fatigue.

Basically, there are cheaper chassis options that can do the same job. However, in rainbows only, the Freak Lord is not as automatically unattractive as the others - He *IS* viable in such a game....probably the only game you'd ever see one.
