oathbound addon
Tactical radial command wheel (G key) and AI stance control (Heel, Free Hunt, Hit & Run, Stay, Recall) for the Oathbound Hunter wolf companion.Oathbound Addon
A focused companion enhancement mod for Oathbound (WarriorRpg) that adds direct tactical control to the Hunter class wolf companion.
Focus and Scope
Currently, this mod is dedicated specifically to the Hunter class and its companion wolf.
In difficult combat or modded setups (such as CLLC multi-star enemies), animal companions without tactical commands often charge into dangerous packs and die quickly. This mod solves that problem by giving Hunters clear strategic command over their companion without artificially buffing stats or altering other classes.
Hunter Companion Tactical Control
Control your wolf companion in real time using a native Norse-styled command window.
How It Works
- Play as the Hunter class with your summoned companion wolf.
- Press
G(configurable) to open the Command Window (styled after the Oathbound Norse UI). - Click any command card to issue orders:
| Command | Icon | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| FREE HUNT | Wolf Trophy | Aggressive. Wolf roams and attacks nearby enemies freely (standard Oathbound behavior). |
| STAY | Wood Shield | Guard Ground. Wolf holds its current position and will not follow or chase. |
| HEEL | Wolf Pelt | Pure Passive. Wolf stays glued to your heel, clears combat aggro, and never attacks. Useful for sneaking, moving through dangerous areas, or preventing unwanted pulls. |
| RECALL | Staff Shield | Emergency Disengage. Instantly clears combat aggro, breaks combat, pulls the wolf back to your side, and enters Heel mode. |
