These are screenshots from my 1.5 Wylvan Rogue/Fighter/Trickster/Samurai/Hatamoto. He died four times altogether but I always loaded the game when it happened, it was:
- my first encounter with the Mystery Woman went badly because she and the thieves hit me a couple of times and I died. I simply didn't know what to expect of her.
- Once a fire drake roasted me because my ward of fire crystal was out and my guy forgot to drink although I had pressed the button.
- In the cellar of Davenmor manor, it was too narrow to dodge the gangrenous wyrm's poisonous gas and the barrowgrim soldiers blocked my escape.
- The gas chamber in the Naga temple also killed me once.
You can see that I'm wearing a Helm of Lords that gives me a penalty of 16 because Hatamoto doesn't give heavy armor skill. Why am I wearing it? Simple - together with my other items it gets my Pro Petrify up to 100% so I cannot be stunned. I started using that helm right before entering the Naga Temple and stuck with it all the way to the end. Also, since putting it on there were only two things I did to defeat my enemies: swinging my weapons (dual-wield with a Kama of the Moon and a Totemic Runemace, the chests and monsters never provided any better medium weapons throughout the entire game), casting Boon Blades, and one single time I had to resort to using Zap because there was no other way to kill a certain shadow wraith high up on a ledge in the Shadow Ruins. I never used any other spell on the monsters.

You'll also notice that I got my Agility stat up very high. It costs 10 million points to raise it to 160 now. However, the penalty is applied AFTER the speed has been capped to 302, making points in Agility total garbage. I raised it anyway to get my parry stat up.

Also, something seems to be wrong with the Fiend of Ghazbu(ul). I've read numerous reports on how hard he is in 1.5 but I totally OWNED him with my dual weapons, stunning him hard and beating the **** out of him. I'm not sure he does even stack up to Voraatus now! My weapons kept the Fiend of Ghazbuul mainly stunned, and even on the rare occasion he managed to fire off something, he only used Inferno and Nether Blast. Where's the "ungodly strong magic attack" he's supposed to use if the walkthrough is right? No, I mean it, Voraatus was really harder for me because it's not as easy to stun him, and even in 1.4 the Fiend gave me tougher fights many times!
