Bear can KO player through village walls - bug or feature?

[Jacra]

Bear obviously can instill fear through the village walls and through this KO someone. I stood inside a walled area, the bear started roaring, after a while running into the wall. I thought who cares.
Suddenly I was in attack mode and had "fear" 30% on me despite being several steps away from the wall. I was walking further away to stop adding fear but within a few steps I was knocked out with my black bile at 0. So it seems bear can through walls attack and their fear debuff decreases your black bile.
Is that intended or a bug? What about houses, they seem instanced, so at least inside a house or mine you are safe?

If no1 else is in the area, run into a house or mine if in combat then exit and tp to boston

Except there's a bug with this (or was... no word if fixed).

Yes, it's intended. Bears have certain attacks that are AE and penetrate walls. Players have similar attacks.

Good to know, I thought it is real life like so wall ... let him roar. Any note how far the distance of the AE is? Could be painful if walls don't protect for use in griefing ...

I can't say with the bear attacks. I believe stomp has a range of about 2 tiles. One of the bear's attacks is similar to this, so I would guess about the same range. Maybe someone can enlighten us more?
