Why do people want priestly power on their mages at all? Why do people want powerful priests at all really? Being sacred is good. Being a priest and a mage is not, since you pay more for abilities you can't use at the same time and less power on the battlefield.

The obvious use for powerful priests is to cast Fanaticism.

However, I hate mixed mage/priests. They drive me up the wall. It's basically just a way of making the mage more expensive.

Hey, buy one for the price of two, and get one free!

Chris: We would be glad to post your mod.

All: agreed, raptor theme is rather weak, as is BK.

Well,

I'm certainly no expert but I just saw the Caelum Raptor theme absolutely dominate a 15(?) player game on Mosehansen. Maltrease won the game by a HUGE margin - it was never really in doubt after about turn 35 or so I would say. The theme can't be _that_ bad. Caelum is pretty good anyway.

Thanks for the compliment, but that was base Caelium not Raptors.

Heh - it's basically just a way of making the mage *less* expensive - half maintainance is nothing to get upset about. And Fanatacism is a nice option for a mage/priest on the verge of unconciousness...
