I'm a very new player of rogue/hack I haven't achieved higher than level 7
I prefer rogue because you are a much better fighter in rogue but the hack
-C / -F options are suitable too.

NE Way ... your trick for defeating a  L  is nice ... complicated ... but nice.
However, do you get the points for it?
When I ecounter a  L  in a one door room ... I back out one space and drop my
gold then sit on the door or one inside ( my gold is 2 - 3 spaces away )
Now it's hand to hand with the  L  ... he's dead meat if I have more than 8 hp
when he dies ... not only do I get his pot of gold, but the great news ...
welcome to level [present]+1 -more-
welcome to level [present+1]+1 -more-

Then I go back and pick up my (old) gold.

Does your method increase your experience two levels?
