The code actually causes you to switch to mode kill if you 'hit' or 'kill' a stunned person, which might be why you switched to mode kill and then attacked.

Why you did that, however, is strange. It's a bug that's shown up a few times, but no one has ever been able to figure out why.

You might need to show more of the log to help. If you happened to have typed something in the middle of spaming a skill or were spamming a skill it might have set you to mode kill to complete the action, kinda like if I type "Smite Dulrik" over and over again and I'm on mode stun and the guy becomes stunned, but all the times I typed "Smite Dulrik" didn't go through yet it will switch you to mode kill on it's next attempt to "Smite Dulrik".

This would only be a bug if it did the mode kill change if you were just auto attacking and not using any skills prior to where it changed. It's hard for me to guess at what happened with out knowing what you were typing before the change to mode kill.

I didn't type a thing. My character was in the middle of singing a song of healing and dancing, mood aggressive, mode stun, using no weapons while in a group.

I've noticed a trend where if you are on mode stun, but your pet is on mode kill, you will get auto-changed to mode kill. This may carry over to if you're in a group with another pet that is set to mode kill, or possibly even with another PC that's set to mode kill. It's not 100% reproduceable, due, I think, to attack order/attack counts not always being consistent at the "stunned" stage of a fight.

... and this all wreaks havoc in conjunction with the law system.

I think the law system works with all this. Everyone in the group needs to be in mode stun or essentially all members are mode kill. I'm not sure if its actually intentional or not. I'm just saying that the explanation offered seems rational.

Oh! That makes sense (though it messes up helping a lower level train)

Thanks, everyone!
