How to kill a monster in dm mode?

[Salathar]

I wonder how can one kill a monster in dm mode

I don't have any metalforge riches on localhost and when I want to experiment with this or that item some monster has I end up having to patch up a superhero invincible character just to kill a mob.

Bottom line is: how can an allpowerful dm slay a tiny little mouse while in dm mode?

Easy, you can't

Or patch yourself to have a high level magic skill, and use it to kill bad monster (after having patched its resistances down, of course

[Salathar]

Oh.. Thanks for confirmation.
I wish there was a safe way without bearing the risk of destroying monster treasure.

In my dreams there is a kill command and I can run around screaming: die, die, die!

But every so often I wake to a cruel reality of helplessness

Use a hand to hand weapon by standing next to the monster and pressing SHIFT+direction
(Chaos sword works well).
Note that if you have a horrible hand to hand weapon skill you wont be able to hit higher monsters...

If that's the case, then you can patch their ac/hits/resists until you can

Or fire up the map editor, and drop one of everything you want into the /HallOfDMs for eash patching...

[Avion]

the kill command is an interesting idea...

[Azriel]

if you patch the ponster with negative hp, will it work ?

[Azriel]

My method : patch the monster level 1 (and eventually resist death 0), than FoD.

the kill command is an interesting idea...

killall -9

Perhaps this?
subtract - subract hp from target obtained from dump. subtract #hp from <monster>
subtract 11 from 12235.
monster has '1' hp left.
*hits monster, it dies*
*gains xp*
