Sneaking Advanced Beasts

========================================= FROST/SHADE - ADVANCED BEAST COMPANIONS ========================================= Sneaking beast companions with tactical choices to fit your play style.

Available in: Frost (Snow Lion) / Shade (Panther) / More coming soon!!

====== SNEAK Frost/Shade DOES sneak with the player. He will stay in stealth until player initiates the fight, or player blows the cover. Frost/Shade wont attack the enemies even if he is right behind them, as long as player stays in sneak successfully.

Frost/Shade casts 'Chameleon' on himself the moment player gets into sneak, and reappears the moment player blows his cover in a hostile place, or player gets out of sneak himself.

Frost/Shade does NOT effect player sneak eye indicator. Being seen by him will not effect your 'sneak eye indicator'.

======== COMBAT Frost/Shade is essential, so instead of dying, he will get unconscious. Once fight is over (if he has enough mana) he will heal himself. He has 2 tactical options which can be changed anytime:

Assassin style : Frost/Shade initiates the fights with a charge attack that KNOCKS DOWN the enemy for 1 sec. He may repeat this charge in lengthy fights after regenerating enough mana. This adds great tactical value to melee sneak attacks.

Range Style : Frost/Shade ROOTS enemy in place for 4 seconds. Using this time for extra easily aimed attacks or getting away from enemies will fit Marksman/Range Caster play styles.

======= GLOBAL Frost/Shade can be gained as a companion as soon as you advance in the main quest line to reach Cloud Ruler Temple. They will wait in the Great Hall of the Temple. 'Call Frost/Shade' spell (which summons him) will be added once you speak to him.

Activating Frost/Shade brings a menu where you can order him to: Follow, Wait, switch to Assassin combat style, switch to Range combat style.

Frost/Shade will gain your Faction Ranks for Thieves, Mages, Fighters Guilds and Dark Brotherhood when you activate him. If you join one of these guilds or gain a rank after you got Frost/Shade, by making him Wait/Follow once you can add him your new Faction Ranks.
