ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

For some reason, when I was next to both the Lost Merchant and the Assassin Lord, the Brawler talents (Spinning Backhand) targeted the Lost Merchant and made him hostile, which meant that is was almost impossible not to kill him. Which happened, because I had items that automatically attack when I am attacked.

I am very sure that the Merchant was not hostile when I first attacked the Assassin Lord. So I ask you to make a change (I think it is a bug fix) so that AOE physical attacks (ones when you start hitting in melee range at least) never hit neutral or friendly units unless you specifically target them.
