 **If you got decent [[Evocations]] skill, a [[phial of floods]] prevents him from using Paralyse (but does not prevent berserk).
 *Rupert has a chance of spawning with one of the rare two-handers, such as a [[triple sword]] or [[executioner's axe]]. It's great if you were looking for one, but actually taking it from Rupert is easier said than done.

-The '''fungal fisticloak'''<ref>{{source ref|0.33.0|art-data.txt|1870}}</ref> is an overenchanted cloak that trades the helmet slot for an extra gloves slot and also comes with an aux attack that can be made on ''any'' action. The aux attack is very useful for fast attacking characters, such as [[short blades]] users. Even if the chance to activate is relatively low, confusing nearby enemies remains powerful through the entire game and helps plenty with crowd control and [[stabbing]]. The -10 HP penalty means low XL characters and low HP species (e.g. [[Spriggan]]s) should think twice about wearing the fisticloak unless they have a good pair of gloves to fill the extra slot.

 Note that it doesn't prevent any [[auxiliary attacks]] from the head, e.g. [[Tengu|Tengu's]] [[beak]].

-[[Confusion]] is a powerful effect: it prevents enemy abilities/[[spell]]casting, gives a ~60% chance for melee attacks to target a wrong tile, and allows [[stab]]bing. The clouds last for multiple turns, making this spell strong in both MP and turn economy, and because it's a level 3 spell, it doesn't take that much investment to cast. Overall, despite Mephitic Cloud checking two properties (rPois and HD), it is a strong spell.

 Many of the most dangerous enemies in the early game, such as [[orc priest]]s, [[centaur (monster)|centaurs]], and all sorts of early [[unique]]s, are vulnerable. It has surprising longevity for a level 3 spell, being useful against all sorts of spell-/ability-using monsters, e.g., preventing [[ironbound convoker]]s in [[Vaults]] from completing their [[Word of Recall]], disabling [[list of deep elves|deep elves]] in [[Elven Halls|Elf]], and packs in [[Depths]]. The clouds get multiple confuse attempts, each attempt happens passively, and the spell affects a small area, meaning it can be useful on stronger enemies than the raw confuse% would suggest.
