And again, it wasn'ty consistent: sometimes they are injured, sometimes they aren't. But I recall getting the same results with Lydia and Rayna, maybe even Mjoll. That may explain some of the messages, and might even explain Mercer Frey and now Anska, since they aren't normal followers. I did learn through more wiki research that elemental Cloak spells do damage neutral NPCs like guards, which is something I've seen personally. The latter might be due to coincidental attacks from monsters, but the warning dialogue means friendlies are being harmed by effects that, according to both Elder Scrolls wikis, aren't supposed to affect them at all.

Tskcool's comment about 'X resisted flames' probably explains that message, but I also get followers saying 'Watch it!' and 'I'm on your side!', plus their damage bar visibly changes.

So, is this a known bug? Or do Flame Cloak, Dawnbreaker, and other area effects work differently than I thought? I'm afraid to try Mayhem while travelling with a follower, now.Įdit: I should clarify that followers are definitely getting damaged by both effects, but inconsistently. Every once in a while, I get 'Whiterun Guard resisted flames'. I've seen it happen every once in a while before, such as when vampires attack the streets of Whiterun. the Cloak spells aren't supposed to harm allies.Dawnbreaker's burst effect is only supposed to affect undead, and.This mod also includes the spell Ash Cloak, to replace the vanilla Whirlwind Cloak spell and adds a new Dragon Priest masks for each element. New spell casting enemies that use these new spells have also been added. And when Dawnbreaker does its undead burst effect, sometimes Frey would be damaged. This mod contains 30 new spells, including 24 destruction spells, 6 conjuration spells, 3 weapon enchantments, and 3 armor enchantments, and 6 new perks.

So I switched to casting Flame Cloak and then rushing in with Dawnbreaker.īut occasionally I got a message 'Mercer Frey resisted flames'. Frey, however, immediately ran in, screaming, and draws out six or so Deathlords at a time. My preferred tactic when in tombs is to lure the undead out one at a time, then pick them off from a distance. Mercer Frey is the worst thief and worst 'follower' ever, but his behavior on the Speaking With Silence quest reminded me to ask about area effects.
