So I must spend a minor action for each action taken by the figurine. But does this mean I can spend only one minor action on the figurine, and use that for its standard action?In other words, do I get to take a standard action myself the same round my figurine is taking its standard action? Obviously, I'm hoping for a "yes". That would make these figurines much more desirable... especially for the purpose I have in mind*! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Regards,Zapp*) I have a BBEG who is a solo. I was thinking it would be a great fresh take if this character got more actions not by having more monsters to boss around (like just about every other BBEG), but by activating a few figurines!This would be especially neat considering how a solo's healing surges normally go to waste. If used when activating a figurine, they get a very healthy hit point boots by virtue of solos having much more hit points than player characters!</blockquote>
