Uniques providing their services while in combat

Currently Glod will teach smithing while he's fighting a 'pet'. This doesn't make sense. This is the only service I've tried, so can't comment on removing rust or training from Bart or Garth.

I think uniques that gives services shouldn't be able to / refuse to do so while in combat.

Well, the PC can read books at the same time he's surrounded by monsters and blocking their attacks...

You can even read while sleeping!

That is so absurd I can't recall even trying it. It borders on a bug and should be reported.

Maybe one should suggest that the pc has a drop in DV/PV while reading from books. As one can imagine he lays down his weapon and shield and focus on the book and not those attacking him.

I've never done that, but I would think you need to fall asleep in the middle of reading and answer yes when asked to keep on doing it, since you lose control of your character otherwise.

A DV reduction might be reasonable.

Yeah, it's a known bug. Start reading a book while a jackelware is attacking you (maybe while doomed, so you're more likely to sleep) and when you fall asleep it asks you if you'd like to continue reading - and you can.

Services also will be provided in the future as ADOM has no specific notion of "in combat". But doing stuff while asleep or paralyzed no longer works.
