Can someone tell me about Machaka?

For expansion against indies, you could give him 5D for fear. But Machaka does not need an awake god to expand, it's got spiders. So A is probably good, especially since it gives you Rain of Stones, always nice to have.

I think a frost brand (if you can get your hands on one somehow) or snake bladder, plus a charcoal shield, will work better than trampling, if you want to trapeze around and fight stuff.

It's like a cheaper EA cyclops, that can't be mind hunted.

Well, I knew that, but he can mind hunt (I think I even named him Bastardo). I though Astral would give him use past the expansion phase. I was not thinking of how that might cause him to absentmindedly kill himself with gifts from heaven.
