What about heir gnomish bard? You get a nice skillset in a few rolls, you get 7LBs, you get guaranteed wand of light against gremlins (possibly with 12 or more charges) and the ability to tame stuff you can't kill.
EDIT: As for challenges in general, for Friday the 13th I suggest once again the one that I got my name from: Blasphemous Man.
Kick every altar on sight, until destroyed. Nothing can stop you, the moment you spot one, even in elemental temples (especially there) and in dwarftown.
All altars have to be kicked down, no other requirements.
