Hi,
Definitely in hell, and probably in nightmare, a new character using melee attacks has no chance. But ranged attacks work fine, especially if the attacked can't get to you. Stair trapping works on all (IIRC) the monsters on level 1 church. Offhand I don't remember how many levels a character gains for the first few kills in hell (and I don't think I ever even knew for nightmare), but I do remember that sometime while clearing level 1, melee attack became possible.
