Re: Newbie Thought: Anointing The Rhuax
On the original topic - the annointed of rhuax is significantly tougher than other battle-mage chasis (except for giants, obviously), which *is* a big advantage, because it means he can run forward and then drop short-range fire zap spells.
Of these, Immolation (Alteration 3) is really worth the trouble. 14 points of AP damage with an AoE of 7.
The big merit of this is that you can do it early - late in the game you can rain this kind of fiery death from a distance. So I think forging stuff to toughen the guy up may not be the best use of your time. OTOH, if you have an enemy who manages fire resistance, you can convert them to effective thugs (not SC), especially if you have a sexy blessing like E9N9.
