Game mode: Singleplayer
Problem: Bug
Region: Anywhere
If you and your pet/thrall are fighting the same enemy, your pet/thrall will take damage from your area-of-effect attacks. Also, by the way, you can kill your pet/thrall just by attacking them.
Steps on how to reproduce issue:
Hit pet/thrall with your weapon. It will take damage.
I would like to point out that NPC’s can harm each other if they have attacks. Of course they have to be in each others attack range for that to happen, even though they’re targeting you. Even thralls can hurt other NPC’s even if they’re not on your side.
I mis-posted. I meant to put this in PC bugs. Anyhow, I don’t have Options under server settings. But under Combat i have friendly fire set to 0.1, and my pets still take damage.
Pets can take damage during PVP times. From you or anyone.
Outside of PVP Times, only other NPC things (animals, people etc) can do them damage. Human players can not bc they count as “structures” in a way.
I would guess you’re playing during the active PvP window. Have to be more careful. If you don’t want friendly fire, wait til outside PVP hours to go after the boss etc.
