As soon as you get him some decent armor you should be good to go for just about anything--you can even make a passable Tank with a good Shield and the right equipment. And of course, there's always the "Stealth--Snipe--Stealth" ploy, perfect for Stalkers as well as Archers.

Stalkers are actually better Backstabbers than Thieves: Sure, their multiplier doesn't go as high, but with their Warrior THAC0, they're almost guaranteed to land the hit. And thay can have the Crom in their offhand while they're doing it. ("Here, let me tack on a hefty STR bonus to this Backstab for you!")
