A jolly male elf rides a spirit steed south.


if you'll notice, he's in melee with me, but because he isn't wielding a weapon that reaches..probably not even a weapon at all...he can just walk off without having to flee.

I've noticed this bug also happening with scouts using bows, so I assume it works for anyone not wielding a melee weapon and on the second row getting hit.

You can walk off as long as noone is physically attacking you. That is why I don't use reach weapons anymore with anything that would be considered a 'caster class'.

Yeah, it sucks for the other side too. As a priest, even though someone's attacking me with a reach weapon, I can't cast harm on them without breaking sanc because I'm not actually hitting them in melee combat.

are you sure he didn't flee?

Yeah, he just walked off. If he fled, he'd be a-running. Same thing happened in a fight I had not long ago.

Do you even care to read the original post? Do you see the flee message anywhere in it? The intelligence of some people, starting to make me look utterly brilliant!

I'm pretty sure this is a feature, not a bug. If anyone had hit (or missed?) me in combat, I would not have been able to walk out, but since my command was entered before the next tick of battle, I could go. I always have auto-assist off, so that I wasn't trying to hit you back.

"You cleave a jolly male elf's chest, cutting a small but painful, wound."


I did hit you

But that was before the courser was dead. Seems reasonable to me that you can walk away from combat if you're still in second row, but it could be a bug.

PS~ If my PoV would be helpful for determining whether or not this is a bug, I'd be glad to post it when I get back home.

you where in combat, you shouldn't of been able to leave. I think you left because your spirit steed was not in combat. This is a bug then. You are not suppose to be able to leave if are in physical combat with someone.
