Mod Name: Maigrets Toc Toc the Raven Companion

Author: Maigrets

Version: One

DESCRIPTION:

Toc Toc is a raven companion and can be found in the graveyard behind the Chorrol Chapel. He will start to wander as soon as you enter the cell he's in, so he may be in or around the bushes at the back of the graveyard.

Activate to Follow or to Wait. He will do what's necessary without further intervention. A Summon spell will be given to you on first activating so if he gets stuck, (which will happen mainly on high staircases), you can call him to you.

He's modeled on the imp so will have some of the same animations. He acts like a bird except that he can't fly very high and mainly stays at player shoulder height (depending on the player's race of course). He will water walk (fly)like imps do and will easily keep up with you.

I've given him custom sounds which only occur when he attacks or is idle, but the levels may need adjusting. I play with headphones and I can hear it, but otherwise the sounds may mix with the game's ambient bird sounds.

He has offensive spells which he uses to great advantage. ie..paralyse for 5 seconds and drain health which might be unnecessary since he paralyses enemies before using the drain spell. I'm using Waalx Animals and Creatures and some of those beasts are pretty hard, so the 5 seconds paralyse isn't really that overpowered. However, I may at some stage look into adjusting it.

Toc Toc can easily be knocked down by bigger, stronger creatures and monsters even with his spells. I've given him a healing ability so he recovers a little faster. I've also given him Resist Magic and Poison 75% because I've found certain enchantments and poisons can have permanent bad effects on companions and since he is Essential it would require a reboot of the mod to fix it.

As I said above, he is also Essential so he can't die and also levels with the player. That can be changed in the CS if preferred, but I'm not going to do it.

He's player owned so he won't attack you or friends if you hit him, which is just as well otherwise you'd be paralysed. He also has the sneak component in his script as my other companions do.

Toc Toc also has an intelligence of 30 so he can follow through load doors and will open gates and normal doors because of this. There are some Main Quest areas he will not follow through as is the case with most companions as far as I know, so just summon as necessary.

I don't do the Main Quest any more and haven't tested Oblivion Gates, so if you're going into a Gate, make him wait before going in and then call him. Do the same upon exiting just to be sure. There shouldn't be a problem as it usually (or used to) affects companions with invent
