Actually, the Mage I started to Solo with was the best Mage I've ever seen....Half-Elven Conjurer with a total of 96 stat points. (That's an average score of 16.) He was actually pretty darn good--for a solo Mage--but having such a terrible AC and THAC0 was pretty much the kiss of death for him. He did fine looting the Ankheg cave north of the Friendly Arm, but those Sirenes and Flesh Golems were too much for him. (I kept trying to kill them, for that yummy EXP so I could get more spells, but my pitiful THAC0 made the Darts of Wounding useless.)

I have NO idea why that rat managed to hurt him. I've never seen it before or since.
