[Bug?] Tame doesn't require target to be adjacent to start casting

Just taking note of the fact that you can start casting Tame before there are any targets next to you, meaning you only have to take one round of attacks, rather than two.  Not sure if intended.

I hope it is intended. Standing next to a dire bear that long can be really bad. Stalkers move fast as well.

 

Animals aren't that overpowering, it is really a low level power that is quickly outgrown.

Pretty sure that is by design.  Would be nice if you could actually cast it at range.

make it ranged but exponentially less effective the further away you are.

I like the idea of being able to start charging Tame before the animal approaches, and also that you have to be next to the creature when casting.  I copped two big hits from a Hoarder Spider leaving me at 1 or 2 HP, but I successfully tamed.  I think you should have to have some risk for the Sov to tame units, as successfully taming Hoarder Spiders or Umberdroths can set you up for the entire map.

Yes, taming my own pack of Umberdroths was a lot of fun.
