A fun bug I accidentally found while verfiying some other fixes in 5.1.0.6345.

If you have an inactive clone in the room, and a mimic or guard pushes you onto its sword, you will not die.

A timeclone pushing you onto the sword will kill you though.

This is because entities only stab on their own turns. If the inactive clone "moves" after the pushing mimic, it will stab Beethro as expected.

This oddity isn't just due to pushing; it can be observed with disarm tokens (see the Disarmed Mimics level in Advanced Concepts). It is, of course, highly counterintuitive, and I'd love to see it changed, but it's too late to consider doing that now.
