Pawn suicides in Bitterblack Isle

[Zarrastro]

So, i've beaten the game 3 times now and i'm at lv 100, so i decided to finally enter BBI.
I've seen pawns fall to their doom many times, whilst i never saw that anywhere in Gransys. What's the feal with BBI? Why do the jump over chests to their doom? Any way to prevent this?

[NecronMimi]

It happens, though not too often in my experience. Pawns do tend to want to jump over chests, and it just so happens that many chests are near ledges in BBI, so the best you can do it not stand close to such chests for very long.

Pawns tend to only jump over chests if they're idling around you and a chest (or any obstacle, really) is close by.

always fun when they do that,make me laugh every time....
pawn are really REALLY dumb,problably dont take pawn with explorer inclination but they always find a way to kill them self

[Harukage]

My pawns do not jump over chests... neither do they fall to death.
However they turn into complete morons when it comes to BBI's big monsters. And the Death is the worst of em all.

[Doomvora]

They do this because they are ready to go back to their arisen and you wont let them, they are just taking their fates into their own hands.

The Fortress of Remembrance is where I usually have a lot of pawn deaths. Last time I went through there, poisoned undeads were spawning and my pawns were climbing on top and after they killed them, they would jump off and fall to their deaths because the undead were too close to the edge.

When fighting the first treasure chest mimick my pawn had decided she had had enough and leapt past it and in to the murky waters below... thankfully there was a Riftstone not far from that location.

It was hilariously uncharacteristic of her.

Glad to see it's not just me :P

Opening a chest... maneater!! It's slained, pawn is rezzed and...jumps over the chest, right in water and leaves the party...

coward scum ! *shakes fist*

[cyäegha]

i've never given it any serious thought/paid any attention to them, but can pawns decelerate from a sprint without a jump, usually to their deaths?

you'd think the lunatics would be smarter than to leap straight over the chest, into the brine, but y'know

pawns

Same goes with mine out 95 hours only happens once thou

She would dash to the chest with sprints and jump over the chest and fall to her death is as if she did it on purpose.....

iv had that before where a rented strider climb a skeleton lord and killed it right next to a edge and fell to his death and a few time in lost city the chest that drops lvl 3 armor by the edge they seem to enjoy jumping to thier deaths 1/10 runs they do it

[Moon Punisher]

Heh first my pawn did it... reload , than a another pawn i had with me did ... reload again :P.

Then again , did anyone expect pawns to be bright heh.

The AI Sorceress I hire like to go up and personal when using spells on the Chained cyclop. When in reality they could just spam spells on a distance but they never seems to do that.

Hell sometimes I've had my own pawn which is a Sorceress to climb a boss monster. WHY would it ever do that?

Sometimes it feels like this.
