Replying to my own now. The key to melee, I think is to use the book. All the extra special attacks are in the mage book. It's particularly fun to combine mage attacks with melee attacks for some pretty potent fighting, especially higher level monsters. The food issue (for those of us who don't have awesome shields or whatever, remain true. Plan to pack a lot and eat, eat, eat. Or retreat and heal.) That said, so far, so fun.
