And they made GREAT campaign opponents!  But not player characters.
The rank 1 spell that gacks an opponent with no save would create an
unbalanced character class.  It's fine for an NPC however, IMHO. 
There need to be dangerous NPC's.  And that's on of the reasons for
parties, so that you don't have to go up against the ugly dudes on 
your lonesome...
