Game Mechanics: Attacked Through Ground (Rooted)

It appears that mobs have the ability to ignore the z-axis for attacks. I think this is a result of being rooted but I'm not sure.

i've been having the same experience in highkeep. i'll go upstairs to kill the single noble and if i path directly under her she'll attack me (which is right around the entrance to the bard below on the floor below)

Its a result of players exploiting z-axis to trivialize kills.

Now NPCs can too.

Couldn't you just put a +/- cap on the z axis for melee/spells?

i.e, extend out of range to the z axis?

I suppose this may cause issues for giant merbs with high hit boxes

but fuck gnomes anyway
