There are some enemies in Sryth that cannot be defeated using normal (non-magical) weapons. Unarmed Combat counts as a non-magical weapon unless you use a special item like a Wyxryn's Ring (see Tallys and Unarmed Combat for details about them). Some of these enemies are storyline-based (like the serpent in The Murk). Others you're warned about beforehand (like the Voren-Thul in Stoneback Hill), but for most, the only way to know for sure is to fight them. And in that moment it can be too late, since you cannot switch weapons in the middle of a combat.
