True on that Snake bladder thing. Here's a fun setup with almost pure nature gem usage for the Bandars:

Siddha with 4x Snake bladder stick, Starshine Skullcap, Hydra Skin armor, Birch Boots, Amulet of Resilience
Script to Personal luck, Resist Magic, Body Ethereal, Mistform, Astral Shield (maybe replace with Blessing in case you're using a bless), attack rearmost

Battle reports are fun to watch. His mapmove 10 and flying plus the ability to Cloud Trapeze AND Teleport make him an awesome raider. You could drop the Birch boots, if you want. Maybe replace the Birch boots and Amulet of Resilience with Boots of the Messenger and some other misc item, experiment a bit. Weaknesses: Undeads, mass archers.
