Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General summon doll duration

i can't figure out what drives how long my summon doll hangs around. sometimes it seems like a long time, sometimes he poofs out after just a few seconds. what's the deal?

IIRC, it's the time penality if you summon it soon after it has died?

There is a distance range that a summoning doll can move from where it is summoned (and a skill to increase this range). Leaving a doll standing where it first shows up, it will stick around indefinitely as long as you do not change levels (enter/exit caves, etc or the BF).

aha! that's what it is! i summon him up and go toddling off all over the map and he up and disappears on me. that's what the deal is. thanks!
