Well, there's the two turns pinning grants you. I hope you (1) don't miss either DX roll and (2) actually know what the victim's current ST is. It would also be good if you don't end up using more ST on Aid than Drain ST produces.

I'm not sure this is the most important tactic for dealing with a pinned opponent. Why not an IQ 11 Sleep spell instead of Aid plus Drain ST? Or, I don't know, some non-magical tactic? Call for his surrender perhaps? Have the wizard beat him to unconsciousness with her staff?

Too pedestrian?
