This kind of creative thinking reminds me of a time I was playing Arduin Grimoire (anyone remember Arduin Grimoire? Anyone? Bueller?) and the DM decided he was done with me, so I opened a door and saw... a million thunder bunnies. Only a hit point each, but they caused some damage, and there were a million of them.
But I was playing a phraint, who was good at jumping and could cast a spell to be as light as anything. I asked how high thunder bunnies could jump, and he said maybe 3-4 feet.
So I jumped 6 feet into the air, positioning myself like I was high jumping, and cast a spell to be as light as air -- and I hovered there, out of reach of the thunder bunnies. I carefully took out my long sword and swung, killing several of them. And as I pointed out, "once my attack is done, I've completed my swing, and my sword arm is back up out of harm's way.
He thought about it for a minute and then said, "Okay, fine, you kill all the thunder bunnies," and we went on with the game like he hadn't just tried to off me directly and I'd flipped him the bird.
