Brennan Risling (Shadows of Amn)

Brennan Risling is a thief and a member of an adventuring party that is found on the second floor of the Den of the Seven Vales. He'll be with Mencar Pebblecrusher, Smaeluv Orcslicer, Pooky and Sorcerous Amon.
If the encounter escalates and he gets injured, he will attempt to flee taking with him all his carried equipment.
==Gameplay==
*Brennan Risling – being a thief – interestingly is equipped with a small shield.
*When his hit points drop below 50%, Brennan will remark towards Gorion's Ward that he's "not dying for Mencar's simple stupidity" and he'll try to escape the battlefield.
**If he can't see the Ward at this point of time, he will use a Potion of Extra Healing instead.
**To receive experience for fighting with him and – perhaps even more important – being able to loot his items then Gorion's Ward either has to be hidden from him when he's low on hit points or a disabling spell with a short casting time, such as Command, could be used.
*Though being an expert in stealth, Brennan won't use his thieving abilities. Instead, his first action will be to quaff his Oil of Speed, followed by the Potion of Invisibility. When invisibility gets broken, he will use the Sandthief's Ring.
* Brennan has skills in pick-pocketing – in the Enhanced Edition, the difficulty of any attempt to steal his potions or treasure is increased by 100.
*Brennan is naturally blessed with an amazing positive good Luck modifier. The result of this extraordinary good fortune is that pretty much every spell or effect will do minimum damage against him, as well as the other benefits of positive "good" Luck. He'll be doing mostly maximum damage on any hit, and his backstabbing will therefore be particularly effective, as he'll get a X5 damage modifier. He'll nearly always hit the "real" person if they are protected by Mirror Image as well. He's super lucky!
==Mod content==
Installation of the Sword Coast Stratagems Mod makes some revisions to the creature. An SCS Thief default AI script is assigned for smarter tactical behavior and threat recognition. The thief also receives 1 pip in sword and shield style, which boosts his armor class vs. missile fire by +2. SCS will aggressively utilize backstabbing attacks with thieves. It will target unprotected and weakened opponents over those well protected. Much of the original scripts for Brennan are retained for use, such as potion use and when he decides to try and flee the battle if he is severely hurt. With Brennan's incredible luck score, expect his backstabs to deal more than forty piercing damage on any successful hit.

"*sigh* I would apologize for my comrades... but they represent a great profit for me and my thiefly abilities. It would be better if you left, I suppose... Mencar is always serious with his threats."
