What was really hard was importing him. He is a plain brown bag fighter. I thought about taking a kit. Mostly, I thought about the Kensai kit and then the focus on daggers, but, then, my role playing sense bit me on the arse and I realized the average shmoe would never be trained as a Kensai. Or a Berserker or a Wizard Slayer for that matter.

As of right now, he has two kills to his name. He is Zach, Coward Extraordinair, Dragonslayer. The Shadow Dragon got Pixie Pricked. With him running away from any sign of danger, he is always the only one who is healthy enough to deliver the killing blow on something nasty.

I am debating right now what gloves to give him. The Gauntlets of Ogre Power or the Gauntlets of Dexterity. It's a really tough choice. Since he rarely melees, rarely like once in a blue moon, neither are a good choice, but, he could always use better AC or better THAC0 for when he does.

His current equipment.

Ring of Invisibility. For those moments when he really has to hide!
Pearly White Ioun Stone. His skin is most important, save it at all costs!
Ring of Regeneration. When running away, he usually has his back shot full of arrows or spells. He um, well, he takes a lot of damage at times and does nothing to stop anybody. At least with all these regeneration items, he heals quickly.
Shadow Dragon Armor.
Girdle of Fortitude.
Boots of Speed. So he can bravely run away away.
Cloak of Shielding.
Gloves. I can't decide.
Weapons. Several. Pixie Prick, Stilleto of De'Marchess, Elemental Staff of Air, Elemental Staff of Fire, soon to have the Staff of Rhynn.
Amulet of Poison Protection. Poison is scary icky stuff!

Something I plan to get very soon, but, will refuse to wear on him is the Ring of Gaxx. Liches are too scary, and, any ring worn by a lich must be even scarier.

He will never turn into the Slayer with the exception of the times I can't control it. Said monster is far to scary. Why, he would scare himself to death!

So much for being the Lord of Murder. Why, the very sight of blood makes him queasy.

Really funny story that actually happened. I was invading Bhodi's lair on a mission from the shadow thieves and right as we all were going into the main room, a vampire made a bee line right for Zach. With his AI set to run like the dickens, he took off lickety split from the gibbering keening undead nasty. He was actually running laps around the big gray beehive thing in the middle of the crypts, with the vampire hot on his heels. Keldorn came in hot pursuit, but, could not keep up with the speedy vampire nor his speedy prey. Under the AI control, Zach would not stop running and must have made at least five laps before I turned the lantern off and manuvered him to a spot so Keldorn could catch up and save his sorry skin. I guess you would have had to have seen it, but, it was so funny at the time I nearly died laughing.
