It looks to me as though even if the Peryton is confused it's still going to attack - probably Houwlou since he'd have hit it last. The main effect would be that it would focus all of its attacks on the wolfkin rather than splitting them as I've had it doing.Could you read the text of the condition (I've got it pasted below) and give me your take? I've put the text that gives me this interpretation in bold.ConfusedA confused creature is mentally befuddled and cannot act normally. A confused creature cannot tell the difference between ally and foe, treating all creatures as enemies. Allies wishing to cast a beneficial spell that requires a touch on a confused creature must succeed on a melee touch attack. If a confused creature is attacked, it attacks the creature that last attacked it until that creature is dead or out of sight.Roll on the following table at the beginning of each confused subject's turn each round to see what the subject does in that round.[code]d%     Behavior01–25     Act normally.26–50     Do nothing but babble incoherently.51–75     Deal 1d8 points of damage + Str modifier to self with item in hand.76–100     Attack nearest creature (for this purpose, a familiar counts as part of the subject's self).[/code]A confused creature who can't carry out the indicated action does nothing but babble incoherently. Attackers are not at any special advantage when attacking a confused creature. Any confused creature who is attacked automatically attacks its attackers on its next turn, as long as it is still confused when its turn comes. Note that a confused creature will not make attacks of opportunity against anything that it is not already devoted to attacking (either because of its most recent action or because it has just been attacked).</blockquote>
