I once had 18 str, rustproofed splint armor, lots of extra useless armor (some cursed, some just worse than what I had) and exactly 0 arrows. I walked into a large room with a nymph, and being too greedy to just leave her alone, I stood back and threw ARMOR at her, and yes, I killed her!! It took 6 suits of armor to do her in, though. I am not sure, but I think armor does 1d0 or 1d1 so I got her on strength bonuses alone. So don't try this unless you are STRONG (or really want to lose a real goody and are a bit of a masochist :-)) Madman
