-Might is useful for dealing with monsters that are troublesome, but for which [[berserk]] or [[haste]] would be overkill and/or unsafe - compared to those, might has no real drawbacks and is safe to use. Unfortunately, as it is only easily available through a [[potion]], the uses are limited. Since might increases your combat ability, use it early in a fight - you'll get more out of might at 100% HP than 50% HP.

 Might is a 'flat' damage boost, so it has a more pronounced effect on [[Short Blades]] and other fast weapons. It can let a [[quick blade]] punch through high [[AC]] foes, for instance. It's also disproportionately strong with [[auxiliary attack]]s; e.g. monstrous [[Demonspawn]] and worshippers of [[Jiyva]] can get +2d10 to +4d10 damage per round.
