| Jan 8 at 16:20 | comment | added | Ravi Kothari | @Kevin That just means enemies wont target them directly correct? So area spells/attacks aimed at the PC are still able to kill them right? I swear I've had Lydia killed by Dragons breaths or shouts aimed at me several times. | |

| Jan 4 at 17:13 | comment | added | Kevin | Strictly speaking, NPCs may also be marked "protected," which is basically "essential unless the player does it." This includes the player's spouse, current follower, and a couple of other roles. These NPCs cannot be killed by a random dragon, but the player can still kill them accidentally while fighting said dragon, so some care needs to be taken with them. | |
