i'd like confirmation on this, unless it was recently mvps can attack novices in trick dead -- i remember it back when i played on officials, but again it was long ago so it could have changed.

Confirmed, I have tested it on iRO 2 years ago when they had pre-renewal settings.

Some skills can hit when you're in Play Dead, maybe you confused some MVP skill that could hit with all mvps attacks or it was changed not so recently.

[color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]Nothing can kill you/see you while you are in Play Dead. It is like a super Hide skill. However, Swordsman classes and Sages can Provoke or Dispel you out of it. Other than that, though, there is no way to get you out of Play Dead.[/font][/color]

It is hard to get a boss on iRO but I did recently run into angeling and play dead does make you well.. inkillable

Removing this
&& !(sstatus->mode&MD_BOSS))

as suggested in the original bug report seems to work BUT I have not thoroughly tested it.
