About this mod
This apprentice level spell gives you the ability to tame animals so that they become your (animal) follower. It makes use of the existing pet follower system. A tamed animal will replace any pet follower or previously tamed animal that you have.
- Permissions and credits
NOTE: This mod and Tame Animal (5) are mutually exclusive. They do not work together.
There are some conditions that add difficulty:
- The spell has to be cast in melee range.
- The duration is based on the difference in level between you and the animal. As it's level is higher than yours, the duration is longer.
- The duration is also longer the higher the animal's confidence. Confidence ratings are from 0 to 4.
- For the duration of the channeling, the animal must be targeting you, or have no target, in case of animals that are not aggressive towards you.
If you have a follower, it might not be possible to maintain this long enough to tame the animal.
- The animal can not be incapacitated. Abilities like Calm, Fear and Paralyze won't work.
(There might be exceptions to this though, there are a lot of spells and/or abilities in the game, and some of them are unique / special cases / etc.)
Known issues:
- A tamed rabbit will be attacked when entering a village (i.e. Riverwood).
1.2
- Added Dialog functionality to give commands to the animal follower.
Because of this, when you dismiss an animal, it won't completely revert to it's previous behaviour in that it won't attack you. Instead,
you can now interact with them and ask them to follow you (again).
- Fixed Spell targeting conditions so there are less conditions to test against.
1.4
- Changed morality of the tamed animal so that it will carry out commands (Favor dialogue) like steal and attack non-hostile Npcs.
1.5
- Fixed Spell timekeeping to allow for the game to be paused during spell casting (channeling).
1.6
- Dialogue option for blacksmiths and stables to armor your tamed animal. 500 armor for 500 gold.
- Level-up for tamed animal. It receives 10 health per player character level-up.
- Tamed Animal Locator note.
On reading, and if your tamed animal is waiting for you, the location will be visible on the map (if Miscelaneous quests is active).
Reading the note again, or command the animal to follow, will deactivate and hide this objective.
- Resurrect Tamed Animal
A spell that can resurrect a dead tamed animal.
Known issue(s):
- When the target resists the reanimate portion of the spell, some animals won't stand up properly (i.e. Troll).
This should normally not happen though, because the level difference would have to be very high.
1.7
Fixed: Bought animal armor wasn't permanent. Now it gets re-applied every time the animal enters combat.
