Will he fight with his fists because he lost his weapons?

(cleric has -3 thaco and -11ac, hit him once the whole time and im pretty sure he didn't miss....ever).
Stealing his swords is much easier than fighting him, and even if you do steal his swords he still has them in his attack rolls and damage. The benefit of killing him is that you get his armor.
The boots of speed Kite strategy seems like it would work, but you would need A LOT of ammo. I would recommend using Kivan, boots of speed, Longbow +2, and a whole inventory of arrows perhaps.
Basically the same strategy I do at higher levels. Took 4 successful stabs instead of three, only difference. Remember Sandthief ring is for sale for about 22k from the beginning of the game at ulgoth's beard, with seven uses. That should be plenty, especially if you grab a couple of invis pots along the way.
Is he immune to Viccona's cleric smite good rain effect attack (forgot spell name)?
Are there some kid of level 3-5 wizard dispels that can make him later be hurt by magic (in Bg2 there was lower resistance)
I cast Greater malision on him but I am not sure that worked...?
Defensive harmony and chant were things I used too but not sure if it even protects from him- seems like he never ever misses an attack...?
Also I thought I was clever using the arrows of biting as that has the cringe and bend tweak effect on poisoned monsters so it seems they move slower and attack less - but I think he is immune to posion too perhaps?
But yeah basically the summon monster and range missile attack is the only option now... I suppose you could try to go man to man with him if you had 120 hitpoints + draw upon holy might hit points + druid and two clerics healing you constantly... you just might live long enough to kill him first but I rather doubt it... If he did not have the magic resistance to hold / paralyze wand he would be an easy slap down though...
He isn't easy but he can be killed. Wait till bg2 when he brings his party with him. Lol even after you import the game you killed him in.
Note that they only hit with critical hits so it takes actually a lot of time, but two potions were enough for me.
Pff, stealing is for the weak! I slaughtered that bastard. I like that you cannot spam the wand of summoning that much anymore, I used summons (Ghasts), and made good use of buffed fighters. No real kiting used or excessive summoning.
Rasaad and Yeslick had to go get resurrected though, Dorn was close with 1 hp.
I don't know why they did this with BG:EE. In BG vanilla they had to break the rules like this to get him to be really hard, but in BG:EE why can't he just have normal proficiencies and weapons of a level 16 ranger?
What they could potentially do is, make him unkillable somehow or keep him killable but disallow pick pocketing/looting his gear. However, again, this wouldn't be much more realistic, wouldn't be worth it, in terms of balancing and might present continuity issues when you encounter him again in BG2. My guess is, they simply didn't want to bother dealing with that can of worms, so they simply opted for the simple approach, which was, not to touch him at all.
I buffed him up with Potions of Heroism, Cloud Strength and Invulnerability. Also had my Clerics Bless/Chant him. I popped Rage and engaged, with Yeslick & Viconia pumping heals into him, whilst just smashing away. The rest of my party pretty much did nothing, as the spells I tried (Glitterdust/Slow) had no effect and Dorn didn't have low enough THAC0 to hit him, so they just killed Gnolls while my CHARNAME took out Drizzt.
Which of his swords can you not use if you're evil?
