Familiars and sparring

Can familiars be winded or subdued, or are they npcs that aren't concerned by these scripts?

I sorta killed someone's familiar while sparring today :oops: , so i'm just checking it's not a bug.

Does the same apply for druid/ranger companions?

They cannot be SD'd.

No NPCs can be subdualed. Sadly, they are not treated like PCs are.

Actually, there's a chance these creatures can be scripted to get SD'd. We've just not -- I know there was a bug that allowed the to go into bleeding, for example. Yet this may be for just possessed familliars.

Uh, yes- I do not advise trying that. >.> Not as long as our system isn't working 100% as intended. If a familiar dies while possessed, the possessor can get stuck.
