equipment configurations for supercombatants (SCs)

hm doesn't poison resistence negate this anyway ?

Ooops I forgot about the Manticore, but some SC do not have poison resistance : think of Dragon, Cyclops, Devils etc...
A Red Dragon has only 11 def for exemple, so a puny werewolf with an astral serpent could perfectly make 3 hits in the first round, making 6 base damage... + 90 poison damage in the next 10 rounds (of course, the werewolf will probably not survive long, but he could kill a god !). Okay, I know, regeneration and poison protection is quite common for SC, but still, I had never realized how useful this item could be... in a given situation.
