I can use /ja "Accomplice" <ft> to hit my Fellow with the ability, but I cannot select it from the menu and tab over to her. The same appears true for Collaborator.
Version: PC (Most likely any)
Area: Any you can summon Fellow NPC in.
Target: Fellow NPC.
Problem: Accomplice and Collaborator cannot target NPC through the menu targetting system.
Solution: Use "/ja "Ability_Name" <ft>
Solution 2: Add whatever was added to Magic Fruit to let you target your NPC properly with these abilities also.
This was also true for refresh. You have to use <ft> and cannot select from the menu.
Thank you very much for this information about not being able to select "Accomplice" from the menu. In order to best assist you with this issue we will be needing some additional information. While some of this information may seem irrelevant, it is best to have as much information as possible in these cases. Once this is filled out we will submit this for review for you.

Monster Name: Any, specifically Collibri for the below examples that include using Hide
Steps:
1. Ctrl-J
2. Select Accomplice/Collaborator
3. Press tab or 0 on keypad, but won't move over to target NPC as it only cycles through actual party members.
I am also not completely sure that it is adjusting the hate properly when used on an NPC via "/ja Accomplice <ft>" as when I use it, even though I should have more than enough enmity to peel hate from my fellow npc, it never seems to unless I perform some large enmity adjustment. For example, I can use "/ja Accomplice <ft>" and take half of my npcs enmity, added to my own, it should turn the target to me, but doesn't. If I then Sneak Attack and hit the target, it will typically, but not always, turn to me.
By comparison, I can Trick Attack onto my NPC, and if it's enough to shift the mob onto her, I can use "/ja Accomplice <ft>" to take half the enmity onto her and she will continue to hold hate until I walk around and Sneak Attack the mob even though I should have taken hate back almost immediately with Accomplice.
If I use Hide, I can drop my enmity to nothing and the mob will turn to my NPC. If I follow Hide with Accomplice as above, we should both have equal enmity ratings (unless Accomplice has an enmity factor which should give me more) and the next hit should shift hate to whoever hits the mob next.
Similar issues: According to Bulrogg above, this issue also occurs with the magic spell Refresh. This was a problem with Magic Fruit and Wild Carrot at one point, but was fixed forever ago. There still seem to be at least a small handful of spells and abilities that are still a problem however.
