I think you're asking for a pre-delay (similar to retreat), and I really don't think that's necessary.

There is lag anytime they eat a pill or quaff a potion, but it comes after, just like everyone else. Even the guys who don't have this can do it (flee/eat, flee/quaff). This allows you to remove the flee part of the equation.

I disagree.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
