I'm using a solo Kensai/Mage, and can say that it is truly an awesome fighter!

Dak'kon's Zerth blade also grants -2 AC, in addition to the extra spells.

My char is level 12/23 and Tenser's Trans gave me 334 HP!!!!! Dual-wielding katanas (Celestial Fury and the abovementioned Zerth blade) gave me 6 Attacks/round with THAC0 of -12/-9!!! Cast Ghost Armour, and got an AC of -13!!! Along with other buffs etc such as Protection from Normal Weapons/Prot from Magic Weapons, Impv Haste, Blur, Stoneskin there are very few battles that this char cannot hack/slash through.

Also, being such a high-level mage means access to Time Stop, Imp Alacrity, Abi Dalzim, Comet, Dragon Breath etc. So, if you want to use spells instead of hack/slash you can blow your opponents away before they have a chance to touch you! A Planetar also makes for a good 'sidekick' when you want to share some of the fun, as they cast my fav mage-stopping spell-Insect Plague.
