Questions about 'broken figurine of wondrous power (alabaster pegasus)'


Pathfinder Society

The Exchange

A chronicle makes this item available, as well as it's upgraded (not broken) version.

Question 1:
The broken version is described like this:
"When animated, this figurine has the statistics of a horse with a movement speed of 60 feet but can make no attacks."

Which 'Horse' is this? Light, Heavy, Advanced, Summoned or Pony? Or is it optional?

Question 2:
The upgraded version is described like this:
"Other than its appearance, this figurines functions identically to a figurine of wondrous power (ebony fly)."

The 'figurine of wondrous power (ebony fly)' is described like this:
"When animated, an ebony fly is the size of a pony and has all the statistics of a pegasus but can make no attacks."

This specifies a size of a pony, Medium. Does that mean that the upgraded (unbroken) version of 'alabaster pegasus' is also Medium? Or does 'appearance' also potentially cover size?

If it has been specified, I can't find it anywhere.

Thanks :)

2. The ebony fly has the statistics of a pegasus, including Large size, notwithstanding that it looks to be the size of a pony. Thus,

1. The broken version should be the simplest kind of Large horse available in the CRB. There's no evidence that it is a warhorse, heavy horse, animal companion or acts in any way as a summoned creature. Therefore, it has the statistics of a light riding horse.

Hi Starglim

Thank you for your response, even if I'm a bit skeptical of it.

How do you come to the conclusion that "The ebony fly has the statistics of a pegasus, including Large size ..."? The item itself specifically stated that "When animated, an ebony fly is the size of a pony ... "; and a 'Pony' is Medium.

Each figurine is a separate item that must be legalized in the AR.

The figurine in question comes from a chronicle sheet.

That is a game descriptor, generally called a statistic, and changes many other statistics. A Medium ebony fly would not have all, or even most, of the statistics of a pegasus. The text is therefore contradictory.

I feel the simplest fix is to read "the size of a pony" as not a game descriptor of size. Similarly, the gorilla is in game terms a Large animal despite visibly or by tape-measure not seeming as big as other Large creatures.
