Characters ignoring their attackers

Theres a few cases where your and NPC characters utterly ignore the fact they are being chopped to bits.
On the player's side, there's bodyguarding. A bodyguard being attacked himself (but not the one who he's guarding) will not respond when he is hit. 2nd is when you order "attack a single target". they focus on that target and ignore sword blows from everyone else, letting themselves get cut to pieces even if their target isnt in their striking distance.
On the NPC side, there's healing. Often if they are giving first aid they ignore the dude thats swinging a sword at them entirely.
