    Congratulations! And I felt the same way, once it was done. A fun challenge, but not one I wanted to repeat anytime soon.

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

      Congrats.

      Egoless artifactless challenge was just a joke. You would have no speed and no damage output for most of the game. So either you allow wands and get a massive supply of them, or it would be a very short challenge

        I think Eddie (a.k.a. Powerdiver) managed to complete the egoless artifactless challenge in one version or another. It involved a lot of scumming, though: rings of speed, mushrooms of terror, whatever mushroom it is that makes you hungry (to avoid bloating from overeating), plus of course the requisite Power Dragon Scale Mail.

          But I bet he used a MoD enchanted to +15 +15, and not mere fists

            He used a mage, I believe, who carried a Blade of Chaos for the rChaos but didn't actually use it in the final fights to cut down on weight.
