In regards to your second problem: Do you mean that auto-attack
doesn't exist, or that the concept of it is bad?

Speaking as a lawman (Sorry, Oleg :-), I need auto attack. I also
need the ranger skill that says "Track XXX," which will follow XXX if
XXX moves. Then I can send Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner out to
hunt down Van Owen (never mind, if you don't listen to Warren Zevon
:-).

For the sake of the forgetful or unconvinced among us, what is wrong
with auto-attack?
