Hello,

I've been looking for a mod (to no avail) which removes the assault charges you get from accidentally hitting a friendly NPC just as a fight stops. This vanilla feature/bug has for a long time prevented me from using companion mods because I never feel I can properly engage in combat for fear of hitting/killing a friendly ally, especially if a guard happens to be around. Even without guards around it is a major annoyance.

I can think of 2 methods this might be fixed:

1. Somehow use OBSE magic to extend the combat for say 3 seconds so your last accidental hit only counts as a friendly hit.

2. Change guard behavior so assault doesn't require you to go to the nearest jail. You can just get an option pay the fine and the guard will let you go.

If anyone can think of way to solve this problem I'm sure more people than me would be grateful. Unfortunately I can't script so I suppose this is mainly a request post.
