• Commanders commits suicide by casting spells
  Commander was victim of Vengeance of the Dead; attacked by 57 Dead Ones (ATT7, DEF 4). Had glamour and was decked out with items, including Spirit Helm; melee encumbrance was 6; Fatigue after initial blessing:12; "Stinger"-length 4; attack 17, defense 39(!);
  The dead ones couldn't have hit him, had he destroyed them one by one in melee. Instead he casted high-fatigue spells until passing out - while he wasn't even hit with fatigue 88 . He (air-3) killed himself with the shock wave (air-2), either by fatigue or by frying himself

Savegames available if desired.

its a recurring problem, which date back from dom 1. Commanders which are dual fighter/mage generally fatigue themselves to death without even trying to combat normally. IMHO a simple fix would be to consider if they are worth something in melee, and then stop casting spell at a reasonable fatigue level.
