Slowing a hasted foe...
Description
I've noticed that when I try to use 'slow' without a target in battle it sometimes slows me instead of my oponnent. I know in two of these cases my opponent was hasted. I haven't been able to test it targetting yet but I believe it should default to targetting them if i'm fighting.
Thanks.

I'm assuming you're using metabolic slowing. I cannot repro this with my victim already metabolic slowed, neither metabolic slowed nor metabolic quickened, or already metabolic quickened. It always targets them when I'm fighting them.

I don't know if this is the issue, but it seems that on this occasion at least, he couldn't see his enemy.
However, it also looks like he might be using some sort of aliasing system, which could be the problem?

Every bit of light available is caught by this dwarves well polished
armor.
The gentle reflections make Jaegrudai look as though hes glowing. Every bit
of him is immaculately clean and well groomed. His wirey red hair is long,
but neatly pulled back into a tie. His equally firey beard is combed and
smoothed and appears soft to the touch. He is of average hiegth for a dwarf,
and perhaps a bit thinner. He could easily be mistaken for a well-to-do
merchant if not for the thick callouses on his hands, and the sure grip on
his weapon. It is apparent when he goes through his things that he is well
organized. He seems to move like he knows exactly what he is doing... as
though he is totally mindful of his every action.
Jaegrudai, a male dwarf, is in perfect health.
Jaegrudai is using:
(Humming) a coral ring
a many faceted diamond ring
(Magical) an ivory amulet shaped like a troll
(Glowing) a brooch set with blue stones
some spiked body armor
(Glowing) (Humming) the Helm of Supremacy
a pair of jagged leggings
a pair of steel-toed boots
some spiked gauntlets
a pair of armguards from the snow worm
a cloak made from the pelt of a displacer beast
(Glowing) an ulrician belt
(Glowing) a topaz encrusted bracelet
(Magical) a charred leather bracer
(Glowing) a large white warhammer
(Glowing) the fiery winged ki-rin
