John,
   I recomend you wrap a jacket around your left forearm as protection 
agains knives and break a pool cue to use in your right hand as a baton or 
club.  With that combination engagement should be easy.  If you're 
aggressive enough you may even have a subdued angle for the "law" to pick 
up.

   Two spells my players used supprised me.  One was drop weapon.  For the 
reason stated.  The other was the trip spell.  I'll never forget the time my 
4-hex dragon was going to finish off a character, but the party wizard cast 
trip on him.  I couldn't believe it.  For 2 more points of fatigue one can 
trip a figure of any strength.  What a visual.  This dragon suddenly 
tripping over nothing and falling prone.

   I see your point, but the only rules in TFT for fear are under the Ghost 
section of ITL.  In that case the character flees.  So...
