Ahhh the ol' Evil Clown routine....
Some general tips to make him rock.
#1 WANDS, WANDS ,WANDS. The wand of summoning and cloud kill are your best weapons. You'll get them both in the opening dungeon. Sell them to a merchant or fence and then buy or preferably steal them back. They will now have 50 charges each. The ice wand insn't bad either and it holds 100 charges. They can get you through about 80% of encounters...if not more. I'm talking solo here. Use and recharge frequently. Far deadlier than any "weapon".
#2 Bards level up fast.As soon as you reach 15th level start making use of reanimate dead. You get the jumbo killer skeletons. They are tough to kill and can deal out a lot of damage. Don't forget to heal them to make them last longer. These bad boys hang around for hours. Far better than any summoned creatures or elementals in my opinion.
#3 The Jesters mail you can get by putting in 20 tokens in Irenicus's dungeon
probably isn't worth it..too bad...it looks really cool but you can't cast spells in it. The Planar Sphere has some better chain ( Boots of Speed too )... also Trade Meet. A Point to remember here is ...
A. Don't poison the Grove! If you do you'll miss the Elven Chain
B. After you End the Druid and Genie problems you become heros of the city. After the " hero " ceremony you are asked by the two house leaders to get them the mantle of waukeen from the crypt. Do so and return it to the House that paid you. Don't give it to Logan. You'll get the mail in the resulting battle.
4. To get through any ultra tough encounters with liches/spellcasters use one of the protection from magic scrolls that Ribald sells. He only has two so use them wisely ie...last resort. They last ten turns and nothing can touch you. I used one scoll to get Kangaxx AND the Rogue stone quest.
