Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General Summoning and Reincarnating

I've seen people talk on these boards about their summoned monstors, e.g skeletons, dread knights, rats, etc fallowing them around. Which is a logical thing, makes sense that if you create something and supposedly command it, you should be able to make it follow you. However, when I summon monstors or reincarnate them.. they do not follow me. Summoned monstors do attack near by enemies and the like, but will not follow.. as for reincarnations they just stand there and do not even move at all. I do not know if they will still attack enemies, as all enemies near me are usually dead when I raise them.. heh. Is this a bug in my game? Or is there some additional spell, skill, or hot key I need to use to get them to follow?

for the reincarnation you need to cast aura of command on them to be in control of them.
The other will never follow you, you can only use them on th spot. (as far as i recol it though). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

So I eventually lose control over reincarnations then? If Aura of Command breaks I mean. As well, do the reincarnations actually follow me once I do have command? and do they attack me after the command breaks?

Resurrected and summoned creatures will follow you if you use Aura of Command. Resurrected creatures will attack any hostile creatures that are nearby, but don't wander around on their own much. If you leave the area, a resurrected creature will turn hostile (and you can kill it again for more experience). For summoned creatures, if you Banish them, they are just gone.

When you sleep, most creatures you cast Aura of Command on will be permanently killed. For some exceptions (some spoilers) see [i]My boss collection[i].
