Just to make it quite explicit, note the combination of the two
statements above. If you have a wand of death and you want to kill a
shopkeeper, just zapping him (her?) loses you 3 luck points (2 for '@'
AND 1 because he's peaceful). A better move would be to throw an arrow
at him to get him mad, THEN zap him. Only 2 luck points lost.
Contrary to popular belief, killing a wild dog or a nurse does not lose
you any luck. Eating the corpses, on the other hand, is like swallowing
a ring of aggravate monster. Not nice.
