Had Zert in party and he STILL got drunk during the contest

I'm guessing this is another hard coded instance but I thought it funny that right after recruiting that shining beacon of goodness Zert, I start the drinking contest and he fell down drunk.

Darn lush.

 

Wait, Zert loses the drinking contest immediately?

Here's what the original module says about him.

 

Well he did get drunk and passed out. Guess time shift editions took away Zert's capacity and tolerance.

 

Sounds like he deserves Great Fortitude and/or Diehard. He might even become useful.

 

Or he's so old and lost his tolerance for beer. Either way best to let him absorb those first attacks.
