Alzar can now use all of his old warrior abilities and gain XP while using them. This means:

He can use his trusty +1 axe. That’s +4 to hit and +5 to damage with axe mastery, strength and its enchantment.

He can attack twice every other round.

His ac drops by two when fighting with just an axe and no shield, but he can use a shield, and if he manages to get a +2 or better shield, he could fight with it and the axe at the same time and increase his AC more.

His THAC0 rises significantly to a 14.

He can use warrior only magic items, like a Potion of Heroism.

When he fights with just an axe, he can use his other hand for drinking potions, throwing things (not attacking though, unless he wants to get major penalties with both axe and weapon thrown).

He also now gets only a -2 when fighting with a weapon he does not know how ot use, instead of -5 as a wizard.

He can wear armor but cannot cast spells when doing so, but he may want to put on a suit a plate mail from his bag of holding for a battle or something.
