Unsure whether they are super spotter spawns, or there's something funky in the AI abilities and combat workings.
But I've noticed that soldier type of spawns:
Goblin Soldier
Gnoll Marauder
Orc Brute
Are able to stay on track and target a character that has hipsed in front of them when they are on the initial run to attack.
Sometimes this "lock on" can stay AND attack a character for up to 2 rounds. Often it is just one round.
Other monster types immediately lose track once the character has HIPs in front of them, and thus will not continue any attack they had queued.
Some spawns continue attack on HIPs character.

Re: Some spawns continue attack on HIPs character.
Just something funky in the AI abilities, their perception list is not updated as often as for a player.
If the creature moves to attack you and you HiPS in between .. if by some bad luck its perception check was just before your HiPS the creature will continue chasing you and swing a few times until the next perception check.

Re: Some spawns continue attack on HIPs character.
Yep thought so. Was just unsure how to call it
Work around is to keep moving out of its range until the round ends, but has to be in it's range... otherwise itll follow you forever on the map.

Yeah, there's a lot more creature types than that list where it happens.
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about it

Beholders, devils in hell, off the top of my head.
Maybe they just see me though, the devils used to not see me at all, also there is an over spawn bug with devils as well, maybe it's intended, but I've seen 10 pit fiends 3 excruciarchs, 2 erinyes(which spawned 2 more) 3 belkiras(think that's the name of the beasty looking ones) Just outside the portal area.

Customs and Border Patrol. They want to see your papers and make sure you're not importing any illegal goods. Nor exporting arms and goods that go against the Lower Planes Armistice Act of 1350DR.vexedart wrote:Beholders, devils in hell, off the top of my head.
