raekuul:
The problem with Melee Weapons is that they all do the exact same thing, with only a few variations on special ability. You've got the Combat Knife, which you walk into enemies to attack with. Then there's the Chainsaw, which... you walk into enemies to attack with. Then there's the Butcher's Cleaver, which is my personal favorite because it allows you to surprise people when... you walk into enemies to attack with it. Then there's the Loningus Spear and Azrael's Scythe, both of which have cool alternative abilities, but... you walk into enemies to attack with it. The Dragonslayer is THE game-breaking weapon to end all other game-breaking weapons, and the best part? You're practically invulnerable as you walk into enemies to attack with it.
Yeah.

Berserk! has plenty of interesting melee attacks, and I can imagine bringing some of them over to DoomRL (when tied to specific weapons) could be interesting.

Do we finally get one where we don't have to march (or sprint, as the case may be) into a bunch of monsters with ranged attacks?

Right out of Diablo II, would devour corpses and them spit them at the enemies. (In this place, at YOU!)
The corpses explode when they hit the player or walls, making a 4 tile radius of blood and rotten gibs.
When player gets directly hit by it, he gets plenty of damage and is poisoned for 10 turns, losing 1HP each turn.
If player doesn't get directly hit, but is caught in the radius, he gets confused for 10 turns.
The monster can't use melee attacks, the monster likely swallows the corpse inside and lets it... Rot or... MELT?!

Well, if you aren't walking into enemies to attack with it, how can it be called a melee weapon?
