Give Orbs of Fire Iron Shot

[arandomperson12]

Currently, Orbs of Fire aren't that threatening to characters with rF++ or rF+++, and can be fought even with rF+, especially if potions of resistance are available. I have never been killed by one despite being a mediocre player, and they have only killed 3548 players in the history of online crawl. Giving them access to untyped physical damage would make them much more dangerous.

They're the #1 threat in zot already.

Counterproposal: buff killer klowns. "Resistance check" monsters are pretty dumb though, so I kinda get where op is coming from.

I never encounter them without at least a (Large) Shield of Reflection so it would actually be easier to kill them. They can still take lots of damage and Malmutate. I'd say only Elder Mummies and maybe Curse Toes are as terrifying in the end-game.
