I'd love to get a Kilij to replace my Screamer and my group could take the
SG that drops the plans. Trouble is we can't tell him from the regular
Habib's that'd g'nite us all for sure. Any ideas on how to tell that a
particular Habib is 10 levels lower than usual when the little one is still
barely red? Other than walking up to see if he does 30 pts or 80 pts when
he kicks you?

Hey don't forget the Brazen Brass Kilij! It's what I currently have in my
offhand. It's 10/35 for a ratio of 3.5. It's only problem is a weight of a
staggering 8.5. When I put this with my 6.5 pound Ugly Stick (tm Rokenn
Enterprises) I'm wielding 15 pounds of weapons. My yellow bar drops pretty
quickly.

I suppose I should be trying to get a Runed Falchion.
