Are we supposed to remain in the calm state (unable to act offensive) after being attacked? Warcats keep me calmed and proceed to smack me silly. I'm unable to retaliate. It suuuuuuucks :P

Log of my tribulation:

A vicious warcat begins to wave its arms in a magical fashion.
* A vicious warcat slices wide at you. You evade.
[You're bruised, solidly balanced with no advantage.]
C>
* A vicious warcat lashes out with large, velvet-padded claws extended at you. You barely block with an ordinary boar-skin shield.
[You're bruised, solidly balanced with no advantage.]
C>
You suddenly feel considerably less calm than you have been.

[You're bruised, solidly balanced and opponent has slight advantage.]
> attack

< You draw a balanced dao at a vicious warcat. A vicious warcat fails to dodge.
The dao lands a heavy (8/23) strike that scratches the right bicep (But another battle scar for the warcat's collection!).
[You're bruised, nimbly balanced with no advantage.]
[Roundtime 2 sec.]
R>
* A red bear orc scout fires a smooth rock at you. You dodge.
The smooth rock lands nearby!
[You're bruised, nimbly balanced and have slight advantage.]

> attack

< You slice a balanced dao at a vicious warcat. A vicious warcat fails to evade.

A vicious warcat gestures at you.
Vibrant orange flames seem to flicker in the vicious warcat's yellow eyes, capturing your attention with a mesmerising stare.
You feel a wave of incredibly overpowering calmness wash over you and are unable to think angry thoughts long enough to act on them.

>Fairly sure that's a really old bug (Though usually you'd see it crop up the other way around). I'll pass it on to the combat folks, I think it's more their side.

You're awesome, Raesh! Thank you for bringing it to their attention.

Or we could just teach the warcats to use Psychic Shield instead!
