An NPC held by its enemy can be hit by its own side's fire, so a grabbed pirate works as a shield.

  • Holding an NPC in an aggressive grab puts it in its friends' line of fire: their shots hit it instead of passing over it.
  • Dragging an NPC by a passive pull (a body or a cuffed prisoner) doesn't make it a shield; shots still pass over it.
  • A neck grab or a choke puts the hostage on the floor, and shots pass over it as they do over anyone lying down. Corpses are passed over too.
  • An NPC held by someone on its own side is still passed over.

Let NPC shots hit an ally held by their enemy

An NPC's shots no longer pass over one of its own side while someone off that side
holds them in an aggressive grab, so a grabbed NPC works as a human shield. Tests cover
the held, dragged and friendly-held cases, and wait for late pellets between checks.
