Which reminds me, you can use this to good effect, if you have courage
and trusts in your FD. Once, when going thu West Commons, I spotted
the Werewolf. Knowing it was too hard to handle for me alone, and that
once people are aware of its precence, they come killing it ASAP, I
lured it to the wall, waited untill it were close to me, feigned
death, and called my highlevel friends. While waiting for them to come
(as they REALLY wanted to kill the WW), I stood several times, to keep
it close by, and away from the more populated areas of the zone. Every
time I stood, it would come running back, and I would feign. Think I
did this 7 or 8 times, untill my friends came to take care of it. =)
I failed once, but running back and forth a few times, waiting for FD
to come back were no problem.

Conclution, FD can be used to 'hold on' to the occational Rare Spawn
untill the cavalry arrives. =)
