Actually, that would be a great function to have. Turning PvP on could make it so anything that is otherwise 'passive', could make it 'hostile' if that make sense. However, I wonder if then the player would need to hold the torch for herding, because turning on PvP would not affect fire-items placed on the ground/walls?
