Rasaad the monk of dying

Hey guys,

I'm a experienced gamer and I play baldus gate for over 8 years but I just cant toughen Rasaad a little up because he cant wear armors and I only can have just one ring of protection. Because of his monk speed he is always the first to battle and the first to die. And beside that he is just weak , every weapon I give him is just like 2 to 9 and his bare fists dont work either. He always gets held or poisend and he dies before I can heal him or cure him. So if someone knows a way to strength him up thank you.

Sorry if my english isnt perfect and if someone already asked this :)
