Monster melee attacks work exactly the same as the player's default fists attack; they do 1d3 damage plus any bonuses.  The only bonus is typically the monster's todam modifier (which only applies to melee attacks as opposed to todamall).


--- Quote ---2. is there any parameter that defines the aggressive behaviour or monsters toward the player? I'd want to invert that behaviour (friendly monsters attacking other monsters)

The built-in AIs don't really have support for this.  You can either write your own AI or try to hack the built-in AI; probably writing a new one is simpler as long as you don't need it to be very complex.

I figured as much, the thing is I have no idea how the default fist attack works and can't find doc on it.

Well, I'd just want them to ignore the player and attack other beings instead. This is for player-spawned lostsouls and resurrected monsters precisely. So this applies only to the last created being, three at most concerning the lostsouls which should not bee an issue if turning the monsters friendly could be done by a function call.

I just tried the cursed weapons thinking it would just prevent me to unequip the weapon, but it also prevents switching, which is perfect for what I wanted.
