You are right. I don't believe that you should be able to nuke thing that
are in a building if you are not in the building yourself or nuke things
outside a building if you are in it. What I am saying is that monsters
should not beable to walk through walls to get at you or to get away. I
think that they should have the same limitations as us. If we get them in
stuck (say two big rocks) between objects and can take them on one at a time
then that is using our heads. I don't think that the NPC should be able to
pass through them just because they CAN.
