For a an INT/CON hard difficulty glass cannon mage, that is NOT the face/diplomat of your group, something like the following works wonders:
1: Know it All or Far Out Man depending on preference
1: Stench
4: *skip for now*
5: Glass Cannon (Deferred 4 pick)
7: Picture of Health (you'll need skill 2 Man-at-arms here, which is easily affordable by 7, and there's a huge difference between getting 25% health and 35% health so not taking it if you are running a hard mode glass cannon would be silly)
11, 15, 19: The one you didn't pick at 1 of FOM and KIA plus whatever you feel like
You'll end up with 2-5 man-at-arms, and if you go for 5 then Weather the Storm is going to be either the 11, 15, or 19 talent.
