Auto-Attacks and the like...

This might be a hard-coded type issue, but here goes:

I find it annoying that Greater Sanctuary gets frequently ruined by my character doing an automatic retaliatory type attack. This happens when you are using Greater Sanctuary and you encounter truesighters or when NPC hears you and casts See Invisibility spell. The NPCs will often run up and swing at your PC and even though he has 100% concealment and is relatively safe he will start fighting back against your will, thereby ruining the GS. I'm not sure but I think this also happens with invisibility as well.

So the question is:
Is it possible to set up some sort of a menu option or OOC item that will restrain a PC from fighting back unless/until the player specifically targets something?
This was taken from Ask The Team: Player's Suggestion Box. A simpler way of avoiding the auto-attack while in Greater Sanctuary that doesn't require any coding or update is to simply engage Parry Mode. When someone attacks you, you will stand there while your enemy swings away. You then merely have to de-activate Parry Mode when you wish to actually fight back. Just a friendly sharing of knowledge.

Oh excellent, thanks for this. I deleted that post then since it doesn't seem there is a problem.
