=================
Requirements:
=================
Oblivion 1.2.416
=================
Description:
=================
An advanced Land Dreugh companion to go adventuring with.
=================
Details:
=================
Say hello to Kraken
He is one of the strongest and toughest of my companions. He can literally knock enemies off their feet.
He is highly resistant to physical damage, and moderately resistant to most magic.
Balancing this out are significant weaknesses to Frost and poison, and the fact that he's isn't very agile or fast.
Dreugh have On Touch shock damage spells (which look like melee attacks), Kraken's get stronger as he levels up.
Control info for Joben's Critters
When you activate one of my critter mods you will be given a summon power.
You must use this spell to call the critter into the game world the first time.
Basic orders include Follow, Stay, and Go Home, to a location that you define.
They have a unique Multi-Click control system.
If you click Use on them once it toggles Follow/Stay.
If you double click it opens an orders/options menu.
You can tell them try to stay nearby in fights, and/or not pursue fleeing enemies.
But, hey they're just critters doesn't always obey perfectly.
Follow behavior
Their AI is carefully scripted. They wander and look at things.
If they fall behind, or if you start running, they will hurry up and follow closely.
They have catch up teleporting in case they get stuck.
If the player sneaks they will sneak also, but if combat starts they will leave sneak mode so they can move more freely.
Combat and Death
The are "Almost-Essential" ™ ;)
If they get knocked out in a fight they will stay that way until the fight is over. (Min 30 seconds)
This is more balanced than just being Essential, more convenient then a resurrection kit or spell, and far more immersive than either.
If they get into a fight with a friend activating them is a "Down Girl/Boy" command and will calm them down.
You can mark a target for them to attack with a special ranged spell.
Or you can shoot it with an arrow poisoned with special "Bait"
Each critter comes with a bait processor is provided so you can brew bait from common ingredients.
