Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Help/Tips/Tricks Summoned units have some kind of taunt?

I've beaten game a couple of times now and i've observed that AI focuses on summoned units alot.
At first i thought that's because i cast summons near enemies so they focus on them. To test this, i cast summons away from enemies and still AI focuses mainly on them. AI even considers getting atack of opportunity to reach a summoned unit which stands idle behind my party.

So, is there an AI mechanic to this or just my luck?

It would be interesting to know if game difficulty also changes AI priorities. As far as summons, I oftentimes cast those next to opponents as distraction (so the party gains in APs and less hits). But in a couple of occasions, some more "important" meanies zipped right past them.

It may be as simple as the summons are quite weak compared to the rest of your party so the AI sees it can do the most damage against them. Similar to those times when they completely ignore your fully armoured warrior and attack the squishy mage.
