Since the minimum damage that an attack can deal is 1, then his melee attacks deal 1 point of damage. He then has the +2 enhancement bonus for the dagger added in, and sneak attack, if applicable, is added later. He was more effective than a typical 9th level rogue because of the extra 2 HD and his racial skill bonuses, along with another movement type. ****************Why wouldn't the animals be able to cast spells normally?Saying that they would need a seperate feat to be able to do so would be like requiring all races except humans to take a feat before they can cast spells in their natural form. I assume that since Dragons get to cast spells as a Sorceror and never take a feat like that then any other animal could also. *******************About the flanking, a creature is flanked whenever he has two opponents threatening him from opposite sides. Assume that S is the Squirrel, C is Mr. Chips, and X's are the squares occupied by a 15X10 creature.[code] XCX    XSXIn this situation, the critter meets the criteria for being flanked (as near as I can tell).Here is the same situation zoomed in so that each letter is 2.5 feet instead of 5.XXXCXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXSXXXThere it is (I think) quite apparent that the critter is flanked.[/code]</blockquote>
