-Taurog is somewhat of a difficult god to work with, since each boon you obtain hinders your ability to use glyphs. For characters that don't depend on glyphs, this is not a terribly big deal, but these classes are few and far between. Classes well-suited to melee combat work best with Taurog, since he offers two different boons to amplify physical attack and a boon to negate physical defense as well. Unlike his magical counterpart, [[Mystera Annur]], it is relatively easy to gain piety under Taurog, with each glyph conversion and magic-using enemy being a considerable windfall. If you only take a handful of his boons, however, it is likely worth keeping BURNDAYRAZ, GETINDARE, or BYSSEPS on hand to make your life a bit easier and to prevent mana potions from going to waste. For extra icing on the cake, Taurog also has the Command boon if you need to heal yourself mid-battle.
