So, he was beaten to death by a Cleric, not a Fighter? So who is the bigger geek. You for saying that or me for having the first response of "well, not under the 3rd edition rules"?

A few observations:
Notice you never see Oetzi and Keith Richards in the same room together. Coincidence? I think not.
If Oetzi was killed by enemy fighters, why didn’t they take his copper axe, or his quiver? Hmmm, just like the movie Predator... except for the skinning of the corpse, the making trophies of man and all that other crap.

“In a statement Tuesday, the academy said the findings reopened the debate over Oetzi’s cause of death, particularly since they took into account the rather unnatural way in which his body was found: face down, with his left arm across his chest. The researchers believe the Iceman fell over backward, but was then turned over onto his stomach by his aggressor who then pulled out the arrow shaft while leaving the arrowhead imbedded in Oetzi’s shoulder.”
Its all just speculation masquarading as science. No one could have fallen with his arm like that... Utter BS.

Because he was equipped with noob gear. A copper axe is only +17 offense although you could get 25 gold for it if you hauled it to Fibula.
