My Samurai has the most kills, but that is because he has Bloodlust. I recently equiped him with a Heater Shield and ditched the Wakazachi +1 sword. Even though it has a kill = 2%, it just didn't do that much. So much for dual weaponing him.

I am getting multiple instant kills per battle, the party is up to level 16 now. The Ninja with Coc, Sam with BL, RFS Monk with Staff of Doom almost always get one. The other Monk with bare hands usually get a knockout or two.

In some battles more than 50% of the enemies were killed by instant kills (for example, 12 out of twenty in a battle at Mt. Gigas).

The Bishop is a poor fighter even with Diamonds Eyes but with his *Light* shield does not get touched much in melee. I think he even had an instant kill or two.

It is true you have to build up strength, dex, close combat, critical, etc., and use the right weapons if you want to build instant kill probability. I gave the Monk a brilliant helm for intelligence boost, did not see a big jump in ability to fight.

Haven't had much success with a Sam or Nin or Mon in spellcasting, just using lower level ones (lev 3 or so).
