True you only get the AP if you have the ability, otherwise it is the target number (and the AP), but still you don't get this kind of bump when augmenting with a feat. I guess it depends on how to creative you let players get with feat names.

Which would be my point, a free follower in the keyword. True, the detail on what the fetches abilites are is a little limited, but lets face it for Hero Wars a Kolating van get by with Wind Spirit Might 5W (or whatever your highest ability is)

True, we could make it up on this list though, seems like a fine use of assembled intellect ;-)
