[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 4969520, member: 82106"] Of course the rules aren't even clear on any of this unfortunately. Conjurations are described as not needing anything to support them, but they are also according to WotC not able to fly. The rules are totally silent on whether or not they can be conjured into a square (cube) above ground level. The rules also state that conjurations can't move vertically. The long and short of it is its really up to the DM. The rules seem to be telling us that a conjuration can't fly up into the air and move around like a flying thing. On the other hand they are definitely not affected by gravity and supposedly CAN cross things like pits without falling. I think again the concept is they basically operate at ground level but don't fall into things like pits. Logically it sounds like they can be conjured anywhere but can't gain or lose altitude. Presumably this means they can move around horizontally in the air, but we don't really know. Overall the best choice is to let the DM decide based on what seems to be cool and interesting. Personally I don't see any real reason to disallow conjurations from moving around in the air, especially the Spirit Companion since it can be popped in and out of existence anywhere anyhow. Note that exactly the same issues exist with other conjurations like Flaming Sphere and Bigby's Icy Grasp. Again I don't have an objection to them flying simply because if they can't then it opens up all sorts of hard to answer questions and arbitrarily restricts conjurations from being useful against flying enemies, which I can see no logic for whatsoever.
