You mean stand right in front of Monsters and whack at them?? *shudders*
I went back, crunched the numbers again, and came to the conclusion that I was looking at it the wrong way. I figured it all came down to damage and I wasn't doing enough with my arrows.
So I revisited your suggestion, took up a (ugh) sword and IT WORKED!
Wow!
Only problem is, I wanted to be careful and do a test run in the Crypt. Started to have fun, got carried away and leveled, bleh.
But: I had a lot of fun NOT reaching my mark

Even tried my first telekill. Of course it went horribly wrong, but that's what item recovery is for...
Still wondering though: Are the numbers I had workable? What numbers are?
