A couple of games back, I had a surprising experience. Wormtongue got
between
me and the stairs, and I had no chance of defeating him. I charged up to
him,
so he would steal my money and get it over with before he thought to cast
too
many frost bolts. I hit him with melee just by luck of the turncount, and
was
shocked to get a message that he was confused. My first thought was to
wonder
how I could have managed to introduce that sort of bug into my patch. It
turns out I had tested a scroll of confuse monster on the stairs from the
previous level, and had not meleed anyone since.
Wands and cast spells etc do not ever confuse uniques. However, a
different
block of code, which does not abort vs uniques, is used for
?confuseMonster.
