Undeniably, but by the time you whack the beast 4 times, you're dead meat.
the reson is that your dexterity is low (cause you normally train your
magic, at least I did), so you are kinda slow. The idea is to inflict
some heavy duty damage before you come down to hand-to-hand combat.
Therefore, you need missiles. However, I will agree with you that with
full magic armor, ring of protection+invisibility, and full health, you
can take him on hand-to-hand. Or you can cast mass might that'll double
your strength (and hit points). What's good about this game is that you
have choices.
