ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

After getting Summon Control talent, you are able to right click your summons and set their skill usage. It seem to work fine for some (Flamespitter will melee if you disable his ranged attack), but it doesn't seem to work on Minotaur at all. I've set his Warshout skill to 0, yet he still keep using it no matter what. Summoning him outside of melee range will make it his first action, and he, unlike Hydra, just don't care that you are in the way.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that whatever reason that's causing him to ignore your skill priority is the same that's causing him to ignore "friendly fire" for his shout.
