Playing a ranger beastmaster this patch and I love how NPCs react to certainly animals now (some of the tiefling children come to look at the Dire Raven for example, making a perfect distraction!)

Noic, as the title says, seems to run away from all of them however. This seems a bit strange considering where he is (druid circle) what he is (member of druidic order) and how he is surrounded by animals and druids that turn into animals.
It is also rather amusing.
