No one of you have encountered the bug that lets you "talk" to monsters, even if they don't see you ?
Well, obviously it would have been Neutral if not for the Smoking Jacket my sorceror usually wears The location is Tarant Sewers somewhere, a 10+ Level character. Of course the monster did attack when I went through the passage.
I've had this happen a few times. Sometimes they are quite well spoken. Occasionally they even ignore me.
