Niefelheim, bless and the outrageous

I really rate the water, earth, and nature bless abilites and I'm not writing the others off yet (except perhaps astral and air).

I don't know about air, but I've been having some fun experimenting with a 9 astral, 9 earth pretender for standard Pythium. The luck combined with the +4 protection and reinvigoration makes the humble battle vestals surprisingly resilent. I suspect the same would be true for the independent amazons. (Incidentally, I discovered the bless effect for death is cumulative with inherent fear rather than constant. Nightmares with Fear +4 was amusing.)
