apparent animal companion bug

[Allyn]

Two observations on animal companions:

1. No defensive buffs work on animal companions. The effects show in the stat sheets, but monsters are having a free for all whacking away. I first found it odd that my wolf was getting hit so frequently, then I started examining the combat log and noticed what was happening. This included the spells barkskin and cats grace as well as seemed to include the AC advancement from the animal's lvl advancement, IE the monsters are only having to overcome the original AC of the animal (lvl 1 wolf stats). I do not know if other buffs are working or not.

2. Again, associated with the animal companion, when my animal is present and I transition, their are graphical glitches noted, such as choppy movement (as in a slower frame rate) and weird graphical happenings, such as dancing trees. These events do not occur when my animal companion is unsummoned. These events go away when I R click on an object (discovered thru trial and error).

This has been observed by me on 2 different servers, so I suspect it is an Obsidian bug. These things are new for me since the 1.11 patches.

Yeah, sounds like an OE issue -- Check my sticky in this forum as to how to report these.
