Wait, because of limitations in the code, something which is obviously OOC, NPCs are considered nothing more than zombies? Is there an IC explaination for this? Has a mind-boring insect robbed all shopkeepers of any thinking capacity? Seems a pretty lazy thing to do to have this gaping hole in your environment's realism. Even in an AD&D session, attacking the scenery (people walking about on the street) leads to some consequence. I think your players can't accept a rule to treat NPCs as people, even if only when considering splattering their non-existant brains across the shopfront. Some excuses, perhaps, to get people to ignore this flaw?
