Well, great. I tried attacking both Shandalar and Dradeel on my first run through ToSC, just to see how tough they were. (If a mage can kill at least 3 members of my party, he's worthy of asking me to do quests for him.) But now I'm gonna have to bear down on these guys for real, just to see what they're wearing!
I agree, Ertai, Semaj is just wearing a normal robe; I think it's an Adventurer's or Traveller's. I find it easy enough to loot Sarevok's friends without killing Sarevok, and Semaj is the easiest of all, becase I can usually get him to Dimension Door out to my party, alone and without protection spells. For a guy who must have at least 13 INT, Semaj ain't very smart. (If anyone's wondering, this is the moment where I pulled my 144-hitpoint backstab. Semaj-shaped chunky bits all over the place.

Lemernis, why didn't you have a Gnome as your Illusionist? Better Saving Throws, & the relative novelty of using a small person.
