When I use the Ranger skill Summon Animal companion or the cantrip Summon Familiar my party is instantly put into combat. The summons is still controllable by me and is highlighted as blue when move mouse over them but the cursor changes to the attack icon. I think only my ranger (the summoner) is able to attack.

If i kill the summons, combat stops. If i move the summons far enough away, combat stops, When i move and regroup the party, the summons will move as well and combat will start again as soon as they get close.

If hasn't been like this the whole game. I was able to use my companion and familiar up to the Blighted Village. At some point during the Goblin Village this started happening and I have not ben able to use my companion or familiar since.

Thanks. I'm really enjoying the game. Great job, Larian!
