Hostile to familiars?

[BahamutZ3RO]

I've read some things about NPCs being hostile toward player familiars. Who is and isn't? Are ALL server NPCs hostile to them?

[RedwizardD]

Oh no! you have a pet cat in Vallaki!? It's a monster! Kill it! Kill it!

For the most part avoid human NPCs in Barovia who are not in the Morning lord temples or Vistani camps. Most other places seem tolerant of familiars. No one batted an eye at my worg oversized dog running around in Dementlieu a few weeks ago.

Good to know. Are the npcs really good at spotting/listening? I'd like to use my familiar for some RP around certain areas of Vallaki but that's going to be hard to do if they're killing it.

[RedwizardD]

Couldn't say really. But watch out if you've got a shadow asp. Apparently they explode in sunlight.

Now I want a shadow asp.

There are certain spots in Vallaki (such as the slums away from Old Svalich Road and the park in the Residential District) that don't have NPCs and are pretty safe for familiars to be.

Yeah, but I had plans to have my familiar interact with PCs and unfortunately most of the places that people frequent (the Lady's Rest, etc) are full of NPCs that will probably be hostile. I'm sure I'll figure out some sort of workaround for it though. Thanks for the tip.

Is it possible to script it so that certain familars, ravens and cats for example, are not hostile to barovian NPCs but other monsterous familars, death dogs and imps, are hostile?

All NPCs are cool with ravens

If the NPC reacts to high OCR, it reacts to familiars.
