[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 5361908, member: 834"] [OOC]Oh, great. Companions are 'Creature' enough to be a target of a standard action but not 'creature' enough to be the target of an opportunity action? And what about immediate reaction? Should I wait for another FAQ? Ridiculous, counter-intuitive ruling. And they assume DM will read the fine print to know that their design does not behave logically? They wrote in the companion description that Companions can be targeted by melee and ranged attacks. Isn't an opportunity attack a melee attack? Arg! I hate when they do that. It stinks of an ad hoc decision not thought out properly, probably because the people who designed the class and the people who answered the FAQ did not talk to each other. Typical WoTC. Mind you it was much worse in the early days of 3E ten years ago. I remember the early mess of their first erratas. But it still galls me when they fall back into old patterns. Didn't they take enough flak for it back in the days?! But I can't argue these kind of rulings in a communal world. I just make a mental note for the house games. End of :rant: [/OOC] [/QUOTE]
