For adding that little commentary about Yeslick on the NPC page.
Recalling my original post, I should mention a few things I think I forget to mention. Yessy had the gauntlets of ogre power (Most of the time) turning him into a real killing machine.
Branwen, even if she had the GoOP would still use the lousy cleric Thac0 table, making her nearly useless as a melee fighter, and a total waste when the fighter types in the party could really use those GoOP and take advantage of the fighter Thac0 tables.
Besides. Branwen's voice drives me absolutely mad. She sounds like the Swedish Chef from the Muppets having an orgasm when she is in battle.
