Message: <blockquote data-quote="DracoSuave" data-source="post: 5130442" data-attributes="member: 71571">+Wisdom to attack is a major difference.Inability to use Heavy Blade Opportunity is a major difference.Given this is a Fighter feat we're talking about, you can bet your ass that the difference is intentional.---------------------------------------------------Time to look at Figurines of Wonderous Power and flanking.1)  ARE THEY AN ALLY?Well, are they creatures?  Yes.  Explicitly so.Are they willing recipients of your powers?  Yes.Figurines of Wonderous Power are allies.2)  ARE THEY CAPABLE OF ATTACKING?Well, looking at their stats in the AV, I see they have attacks.Figurines of Wonderous Power are capable of attacking.3)  ARE THEY UNDER AN EFFECT RENDERING THEM INCAPABLE OF OPPORTUNITY ATTACKS?Now, notice, this does not say 'Are they incapable of OAs?'  The -specific- onus is that it be an -effect- that renders them such.Now, having something present or not present in a stat block is NOT an effect.  Having vulnerable 5 fire in your stat-block is not an effect.  Not having resistance to fire is NOT an effect.Similiarly, not having basic attacks is not an effect.HOWEVER, there is a caveat.Conjured creatures lack basic attacks and therefore cannot make opportunity attacks.is part of the rules text for conjuring a figuring of wonderous power, and therefore -is- part of the effect that produces them.Therefore...Figurines of Wonderous Power ARE being prevented from making opportunity attacks because of an effect.Thusly, it fails the third test for flanking eligability, and therefore, by default, FoWP cannot flank.---------------------------------Lastly:The power that you use to conjure a creature with FoWP does not have an attack type.  Attack types are necessary to have a range, therefore any question about in range, or out of range, cannot be asked of a FoWP.Therefore, the exemption on moveable conjurations and range cannot apply to a FoWP.</blockquote>
