Flick of the Wrist/Expert Tactician

[Paragon]

ok, flick of the wrist allows you to if you draw and attack with a light weapon to catch someone as flat footed for that one attack, one swing only. expert tactician allows you a free attack against someone, in melee range, who is denied their dex bonus to your attacks.
the question is does the flat footedness of flick of the wrist provoke the expert tactician free attack?
thoughts? ideas?

thanks!

If you're using the 3.0 version, yes, it works.

If you're using 3.5, no, because Expert Tactician was updated in Complete Adventurer, and no longer grants a free attack.

As Sejs, said, it's been updated. My take on it is that, no, they wouldn't stack. They are not denied dex against your attacks in any general way. Instead, FotW grants you a special attack that has those circumstances.

Put another way, the entire window of opportunity for Expert Tactician is already being consumed by an attack. By the time you're ready to bring ET into play, it's too late.
