    Why stop there?  Why not make all the monsters on a level visible
ALL the time, or -2 leather armor totally invulnerable, or, better yet,
why not just have the game say "I KNOW WHEN I'M BEATEN - YOU WIN" as 
soon as you start? :-)

    Seriously, though, "pickup" is a good idea (Don Kneller implemented
it in PC-HACK), and one he did, which I think was even better, was "caution"
which keeps you from killing your doggie by mistake. (Hit your dog, it asks
if you really want to attack before attacking.)
