I'm not sure if this is valid in current vanilla, but in a bit older versions all non-weapon bonuses did increase your melee-damage even without melee-weapon and you got two hits, so melee was not completely out of question.

Other than that, you could play magic-only mage (or priest, but that would require using wands until OoD, and that could be rather impossible challenge). Bow-only ranger is a good challenge too. You need a huge quiver.

How about magic-only priest counting thrown flasks of oil as a magical attack? There has to be some sort of magic involved to make it so that the flasks explode rather than simply inducing prat falls.

Timo--
In 4.x, fists count as a 0lb 1d1 weapon, so you get as many attacks as with a dagger. And yes, combat bonuses apply. Take a look at Ingwe's ladder post to see details.

Those are considered lit when thrown so that you burn whatever you hit. Molotov cocktails basically.
