the thing about giving clerics the crom is, the buffs which make them a viable tank override the strength enhancements.

for example: the buffs to make a cleric a tank - holy power, righteous magic, draw upon holy might.
that gives the cleric the THAC0 of a fighter, extra HP and strength and then some more strength, dex (improving AC) and con (giving more HP)

a high level cleric (and by this i mean the end of SoA) can feasibly get 23-25 in str, dex and con with DUHM alone (giving the main benefit of the crom in one spell PLUS extra AC, HP and natural regeneration). a cleric is far more effective weilding the FoA than he is weilding the crom. even Annoyman, who can be set up to dual weild effectively, benefits more from combos which include the defender of easthaven in his off hand than he does from the use of the crom.

the best characters to give the crom to are fighter/mages, fighters and bards.
