Hmm, that makes things a bit complicated. IIRC, the old behaviour was that
"unaggressive 1" means the NPC won't attack you, but will if you provoke
them; and "friendly 1" means you cannot attack them at all. Some of the
NPCs in pupland were set to "friendly 1" so that they cannot be
accidentally provoked.

change.
