templar's defense against bows/archery?

Ok, it's another goblin post, but anyway, doesn't seem like templar's defense should block arrows then return an attack. (also seems like a hiltsmash would require you to be closer to opponent that being mounted would allow) This potential bug is reported purely in the greater interest of a balanced and nuanced mud experience, and has nothing to do with any selfish desire for an edge toward success. civilized <628hp 462m 723mv 1 PM> fa flaminga As you pull your next arrow, you dip the head in a flask of oil, then set it ablaze! Paladin has some small but disgusting cuts. civilized <628hp 452m 723mv 1 PM> Autosaving. Paladin has a few scratches. civilized <662hp 458m 728mv 2 PM> Stepping across, Paladin blocks your attack and quickly smashes your face with the hilt of his weapon. Someone's frigid chop EVISCERATES you! Someone has a few scratches.
