haer´dalis is a reasonable backup mage, because of his higher casting level some spells are more effective than those of his mage counterparts (most notably skull trap).
however, the area he truly shines in is magically enhanced combat - give him the pixie prick and kundane, cast several buffing spells (especially stoneskin) and hack away.

he is a little vulnerable to tank all day without magical protection and vastly inferior to anomen in this respect, and without a strength modifier he has serious issues with his thaco. however, with 3 hits per round he is nevertheless decent at dealing out damage and if you can get your opponents to pummel on someone else while he cuts them to bits he can be a worthy addition to your melee fighters.
