NPC bashes affecting their number of autoattacks

[Lennya]

Apparently not just the Hill Giant Chief gets extra autos when he succeeds (or fails) a bash:

Note how the added four attacks do not trigger blade barrier or the ancient silver shield procedure.

Yes, this is repeatable vs. any mob with WARRIOR flag set. If such a mob has the initiative in a round, it's allowed to bash then immediately get in it's normal number of attacks without any lag/delay.

I think I've isolated the problem and will discuss with the other immorts about how best to resolve it.

EDIT: After some more thought on the matter, I believe these to be phantom attacks with no actual damage resulting from them. I believe the code is throwing phony damage messages on non_attacks. I'll keep looking at this and report back.

I did confirm these were phantom damage messages and cleaned up the code to prevent them. Should go out in the next port.

EDIT: Brainfart. Ignore what was here previously. It's all good now.
