Shattered Kingdoms

What is the secret to getting pets to perform their physical feats while in combat?
Sometimes my pet responds great, other times not at all. Can anyone tell me whats up here?

A pet will do whatever you 'order' it to do (see help order) still if you order it to do something that it is beyond it capabilities, it will just do nothing. During combat, most pets will use some of their abilities on their own, that occurrence is somewhat random, but common.

My favorite command happends after you walk into the local inn/tavern, with 10+ undead, and type "order all emote growls."

Hehe, half my undead usually just make some undecernable gesture, but the other half growl, and scare people

Deadram Should try order all growl. Emotes are language based but socials are not wont get any gestures all of them will growl.

O X do something will always get them to act as if you where the same race and typed in what you order them to do. If no orders it used the AI for the pet. Things like animates are different they have no mind must be ordered by master.
If it as already used say bash in combat then if you try to order it before bash lag ends you will get the busy message. If you are finding your orders are giving you to much lag this is affected by your Cha stat.

Other things of important o all does not work with leadership.
