The Claw of Kazgaroth does carry a hefty penalty, but overall I think it's worth it. Having an extra 10 or 15 hitpoints won't be worth a damn if you fail your Save vs. Spell against a Horror or Confusion. The Ring of Free Action is also quite potent, of course.
Boots of Stealth are nice (Steath = Survival for a soloist), but don't start to depend on them--you are going to want the Boots of Speed.
Helm of Defense is good, but the *cough* helmofbalduran *cough* is far superior. And no, I'm not going to tell you where it is, and hopefully nobody else will either.
Drizzt cannot tell if you have just pickpocketed him--unless, of course, you Failed the pickpocket. (A Solo F/T would have one HELL of a time trying to kill him.)
