Interesting. I haven't experienced this, unless my group was engaged with the
mob.

But I have noticed that even when healthy, another PC can 'scrape off' an angry
mob on you from a fight that has gone bad. Wonder why they made the AI
disregard a person that is killing them to attack a stranger?

Thanks!

=================

This is normal mob behavior, independent of bards. If you're
heavily wounded, mobs will see you as an "easy kill" and stop
what they're doing to finish you off. I've seen a Cazic
fanatic we were fighting run all the way across the courtyard
to finish off someone who was almost dead, then run back to
continue fighting uss. When we were pulling ice giants, some
bozo who refused to leave the king area was beaten down to
under two bubbles by an elite goblin guard, and the giant
stopped attacking us to finish him off. I've also seen a
L35ish player in West Commons kill a griffin and live with a
sliver of health remaining. A passing bear and orc pawn
attacked him, even though stuff that level never normally
aggros on a L35 player.
