implement #H6051 - fake players resist Conflict

The rationale is that since the player character resists conflict,
fake players should too.

[I'm not sure that I buy that.  Player character is always the one
*causing* conflict and it doesn't affect self.  But this is simple
as long as no other resistance checks are against attack-by-ring.]
