    Anyone has any Ideas?

    I don't know if this helps (probably not) but did you tell her to attack nearest :lol:

    I know I'm prbably wrong...

    I've had some problems similar to this...

    First, my panther familiar began to attack my henchman, as did my summoned dire wolf, soon after poor Tomi was dead. They wouldn't stop there, however, proceeding to attack each other, eventually my poor panther was dead, the evil wolf raigning supreme. But that was still not enough, the evil creature proceeded to make lunch out of a nearby peasant girl, before turning on me!

    I haven't played that much NWN, but I've had something similar happen. It wasn't random, however. Basically, I managed (on several occasions) to anger one of my followers enough to attack me (typically by mistargetting an attack or spell). Because my other followers were on "attack nearest" mode, they attacked the enraged follower. This tended to chain (in the case of three followers), so I was generally left with only one (sometimes hostile, sometimes not, depending on who won).

    I'm at a loss as to why Tinkerbell found the need to slay the peasant, though...

    Actually, SG, in the Monster Manual, their int is considered to be nonexistant. Granted, the animals used as familiars are smarter than normal ones, do you think they're attacking him because their int score is so pathetic? I'm thinking it's a bug that needs to be addressed.
