You utter the words, 'gsufuh pafoculo'. A halfling girl howls in despair as the horde screams curses upon her. A halfling girl walks southeast. A halfling girl has fled! The ferocity of the spirit horde knocks a halfling girl to the ground. Your spirit allies burst forth from your aura in a mighty horde. I have noticed that Npc's have been doing things mid-spell, mostly attacks. The instance above being a more interesting one. Not sure if anyone else cares. Just thought i would bring it up. |

Anyone can do that! It's actually a byproduct of wimpy code: She wimpied out from the damage, but the bash is coded to happen after the damage: You still bashed her, but she was prone in the other room and thus not fighting you at the time either. That particular thing probably won't happen very often. Also, paladins and hellions still get 1 attack while casting, and also if they're bashed while casting they get their full complement of attacks until they regain their footing and continue casting (unlike other classes who get no attacks ever while bashed even while casting, unless they lose their concentration on a spell on account of getting bashed). Now, some high-level NPCs script spells: Cast them by glowing with energy or doing some other really cool-looking thing, which is instant and doesn't require them to concentrate. But aside from that, NPCs cast spells just the same way PCs do. |

The wimpy code explains what happened with the fleeing. I understand that paladins and hellions have combat casting, but i was talking about something like below. A mysterious female half-elf utters the words, 'flamestrike'. Your shield blocks a mysterious female half-elf's attack. A mysterious female half-elf creates a large arc of fire that slams into the ground next to you. This happened after about 5 rounds of combat. and i don't think there are paladins or hellions in there. Unless she tried to punch me with a flamestrike, i don't know what happened. |

Seen that a few times, not sure what causes it! |
