Burning Hands and Familiar

Post by IanPatron » Wed Jan 13, 2021 9:06 pm

I used burning hands on a group of derro that may familiar and summons were fighting. My familiar didn't even get damaged but turned and attacked me and I died.

Might be a bug?

Yep, it happened again except I didn't die... almost died though. Burning hands causes my familiar to attack me.

Is there a way to set it so familiars can't do damage to their own masters?

It's difficult because I don't play a powerbuild and I rely on my familiar and burning hands to actually do anything. Now every time I cast burning hands I have to run from my own damn familiar. This is is getting outrageous.

If you know its causing it just position your familiar or where you cast the spell so you don't hit the familiar. You might be able to override it attacking you by using the Associate tool and telling it to attack something else.

That said you need to be patient when it comes to anything involving dev time. They do their work here on a volunteer basis and don't exist to just fix/update things. It will get fixed in due time if it can be.
