I ran a search before posting, the last time it was mentioned was back in 2005. I've attacked way more things than I should have, and not one so much as raised a claw to defend themselves. Rats, Ulbernauts, Rogues, Thieves--none of them offer any kind of resistance. For my
extremely low level character to be kicking but without armor and armed with a rust knife

...yeah, I think there's a glitch. Or, according to the 2005 post, is the NPC AI just not online?
