The only real effect would be against SCs, everyone puts scum or krill up front to absorb the arrows, slings, ect... This would give certain units the capability to fight single combatants. Such as Joten and other SCs. I would give it a lower probability than a enchanted weapon to destroy a shield.

still SCs cost tons, they aren't supposed to be taken out so easily by any means and are supposed to take alot of resources and planning to kill.

i suppose an elite, expensive sacred or something could pass with something like that but other than that it makes no sense to make the troops have such an uber effect.

I don't think thats absolutely true, Tartarians only cost ten death gems. I agree that it may be too powerful to issue them to everyone. I just played Ermor in a mp game and found them to be a weak power. Maybe it was poor play on my part, but I don't think so. After that I started musing on ways to give them a little help.

unfortunately any SC chassis can usually be killed quite easily before it's geared up, by the time people are calling forth SCs others are sending in communions and a good communion with a meat sheild is more than enough to take out an SC with no gear.

yes the initial cost for tartarians is cheap but then you have to think about the gear and ontop of that most tartarians need gift of Reasoning which costs a fair amount of gems, and before that there is empowering mages and giving them boosters to be able to cast tartarian gate (costs gems) and if not you'll have to spend design points (costly in their own right except if you're LA ermor) to give you're god enough death to cast tartarians.
