Shield jab initiates combat
Description
Situation: I'm a defender paladin. Currently a ghost and wearing a shield. Mob is aggro to the class, so attempts to auto attack.
Expectation: Ghost protection means I don't get attacked.
Reality: Ghost protection prevents the aggro mob from attacking, but shield jab initiates bringing me into combat.
Log:
[Exits: north east south]
An armored patroller wearing the mark of Udgaard Loke stands here.
An Udgaard patroller yells 'Die you paladin scum!'
The gods protect you from an Udgaard patroller.
You quickly strike an Udgaard patroller with the edge of a shield of pure light.
Your shield jab MANGLES an Udgaard patroller!

For now I'm going to leave this as is.
I could make it so you can't shield jab while a ghost.
But that would make you not fight so fancy as a ghost.
OR
I could say "Don't wear a shield while a ghost if you don't want to shield jab".
The latter is a lot more simple, and doable, so I'm erring on it for now unless I find a more clever way to toy with this.
