Indy mages with -1RP would still probably suck enough you wouldn't bother with them imo. |
Well, several indy mages have sage bonuses, against which -1 RP is not so much. In particular the Adepts of the various metallic orders, Lore Masters, Sages, Wizards, and Wizards of the Crescent Moon all have +5 sage ability.
Scenario: 1S Sage + 5sage ability -1 RP due to drain = 5RP for 100G. Pretty efficient (setting aside the old age disadvantage of Sages.)
EDIT: sorry, Sages are only +4sage, so 1S Sage + 4sage -1RP = 4RP for 100G.
