I lied and restarted anyway.
Attributes:
INT = 8
SPD = 6
CON = 6
Talents:
Far Out Man
Stench
Abilities:
Scoundrel
Witchcraft
Hydrosphist
Aerothurge
Willpower
Skills:
Oath of Desecration
Walk in Shadows
Minor Heal
The first touch-range disable you can get is Aerothurge's Stunning Touch. The others, I believe, require at least level 7.
I get a talent at Level 3, but I can't spend it until level 5, when I'll be able to afford Scoundrel 2 and can get Swiftfooted. That'll also let me take Charming Touch, but that's really more of an "I have nothing better to spend this AP on" move, because of my -40% fumble penalty from my 5 Dexterity. But it'll probably still be better than spending that AP on Staff of Magus.
I suppose in theory I could have skipped out on my points into Willpower and Aerothurge and instead gone:
Scoundrel 2
Witchcraft
Hydrosophist
Picked up Swiftfooted instead of Stench (which could be saved for Level 3) and spent the next three points on Aerothurge instead. That also seems like a viable approach.

In the meantime, I've picked up Blind and Slow.
I've picked up Wolgraff and Bairdotr as my Companions. It seems to be working okay so far, but then again, I am still only playing on Normal, I've only barely gotten Shocking Touch, and the real challenge will be the boss.

As soon as I get Crafting 3, I'll be trying to craft a pair of Lucky Rabbit's Paw Rings, which each grant +1 Speed AND + Movement.
The recipe is challenging, though.
(Magic Rabbit Paw + Thread) + Bowstring) + Jeweler's Kit: Ring.
Or in other words:
((Rabbit Paw + (Bonedust + Stardust)) + Thread) + (Sinew + Sinew)) + Jeweler's Kit: Ring.
