I've taken the oportunty to reaquaint myself with the nephilim. Starting at age 80 and being more or less immune to age is a big bonus. However nephilim can not have true faith, hermetic virtues or methods and powers.
They could, in theory, spend a large number of their virtue points on taking strong angelic heritage many times, but this would grant them only thirty additional spell levels woth of power each time they took it. A literal reading of the rules does not prevent them from taking the Ars Goetia virtues (or perhaps a magic or farie equivelent) but I think that this is contraty to the spirit.
I've never had them in a game but to me, a minmaxed (80 year old) nephilim looks like the equivelent of magus who is ten years out of apprenticeship. A nephilim that is not tweaked to the breaking point appears to me to be only a bit more powerful than a freshly gauntleted magus.
