Strange red npc

[Landon]

I stumbled apon a bandit camp last night, one of the red npcs weilded a
crossbow and had a wooden sheild (which should be impossible). It looked
really neat (she was tougher than the others too). Anyone ever seen this?

Katy lies, you could see it in her eyes. But imagine my surprise when

Yes, I was almost killed by a crossbow/shield bandit the other night.
I have seen NPC fighters with crossbow/buckler combos walking around
(check in Jhelom).

take care,

Yes, and I want to know why I can't do the same. I also want to know why
monsters don't have their spells disrupted when I hit them on the head with
a warhammer, but if get touched by a mongbat I can't get off a spell.
Double standards? Oh well, who said (UO) life was fair?

It's a balance, to make up for the fact that the monsters have limited
AI and (most) walk slower than you.
