Would a GenoHarradan assassin benefit from Admiral Yularen's opportunist CE when it is attacking with poison blade? It specifies that this attack is a melee attack, so I would think not, but wanted to check.

Looks like I was wrong about that when I commented on your squad: from http://www.bloomilk.com/forums/default.aspx?g=posts&t=10520swinefeld wrote:jak wrote:what about poison blade counting as a melee attack?  It does count as a melee attack, but Yularen's CE doesn't specify nonmelee attacks, it says "followers without the Melee Attack special ability". Quote:Admiral Yularen
Q+: Does Admiral Yularen's commander effect affect a character with Melee Attack if it uses an ability or power that makes the attack nonmelee, like Lightsaber Throw?
A+: No. The character still has Melee Attack, and does not qualify for this commander effect. The reverse is also true. http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75862/24836469/poison_blade_and_and_admiral_yularen&post_num=2#448509849 Nickname wrote:Poisoned Blade does not grant the Melee Attack special ability and thus does not prevent a character with it from taking advantage of Admiral Yularen's commander effect.
