A decent warrior will almost always school you (sans-marital trance)

You are susposed to survive till you can maledict him enough that he drops a weapon or both and can kill him with trip/throw/laggingkick.

kote and kans will lower his dex (along with caltraps) so he defens less, as well as his str so he drops weaps. A crunchy will drop one automatically.

If you are mising 42 attacks in a row, its safe to say, you're NOT going to suddenly like land like 8 in a row and kill him.
You need to blind/disarm or kote/kans.


With mages, well, you need to last till you get your classes damage reduction spells to really do #### (unless you're a transmuter lol) versus a warrior.
After that, stacked and good ones will still rock you and you need abs.
