Issue Description

I summoned a water elemental using the item in the screenshot. It used a drown attack on an ogre, which instantly killed me as well. Rather than casting a spell the summon command on this item seems to be some kind of custom script so that might be why.

[Echo]

not really a bug
these use the bioware default creatures so that you area able to have all 4 elements on 1 item
i can remake the item and put just one type of elemental on it
or just remove the item
but not a bug, per se

advice: dont use the water ones

[Cojak81]

@Echo fine with either resolution, just wouldn't want it to happen to anyone else. Ridiculous bioware make a summon that can kill the summoner like that.

Or we can actually look into the pulse attack and fix it ☺️

or that...

It would make sense for the new Water Breathing spells to make you immune to the Drown Pulse... that would be a built in solution sorta.

[Cojak81]

@toportime you shouldn't have to buff yourself to not die from your own summon, it's just stupid. It would be good to use against enemy elementals though.

Fixed attempted in version 20240629 Strife 8437.
Please confirm, with the help of a DM, once the version is live.

@Strife-and-Discord thanks, should be on in a few hours time.

But did it work on mobs?

I did see it cast something on mobs, not sure what. Did 15 damage on one. Pulse?

[Cojak81]

Used this yesterday and the elemental used their pulse attack and I didnt make a fort save
,only the ogres so it seems to be fixed.
