Scare away (dangerous) animals with fire

[RobinHood]

Scare away animals with fire, torch or campfire or bush fire. Animals are afraid of fire. In this way you could also protect something from dangerous animals (especially useful at the beginning of the game if you have weak weapons and armour). But the fire should not become too powerful. Animals get used to it. You can scare away a wolf e.g. 2-3 times, or one, two, three days.

If the player are brave, he can even use a torch as a weapon against a wolf and so on

Wild animals should definitely be afraid of fire, growing more tolerant with generations of domestication.

I agree that wolves should be less prone to attacking a player holding a torch it makes sense.
However if they are in a pack they should still attack players as they have strength in numbers, Or perhaps if they are low weight they become desperate and will brave the fire to try and get a meal off your bones.
