Message: <blockquote data-quote="pit fiend" data-source="post: 148769" data-attributes="member: 4152">Magus,Just because I can see it DOES mean that I can react to that which I see. Take a look at Ubiquitous Vision in the psionics handbook, page 107:  "In effect, you have a 360 degree sphere of sight, allowing you perfect view of creatures that might otherwise flank you.  Thus, flanking opponents gain no bonuses to their attacks...and rogues are denied their sneak attack because you do not lose your bonus to Dexterity.The way thats written is that BECAUSE one has a 360 degree view he CAN react to opponents flanking him.  Therefore keep his dex bonus and negate flanking.  Remember, the ONLY thing Ubiquitous Vision does is give all-around vision and no other powers like the "power to react to flanking opponents."  It only gives all-around vision... and that is what negates flanking...Therefore...AAV -> immune to flankingI guess what really determines whether or not a flankable person is being flanked is whether or not he can still use his dexterity.So the real question is, can a monster with blindsight...   1. keep his dex bonus if he fights a single opponent directly in front of him. YES...   2. keep his dex bonus if he fights a single opponent directly behind him. Umm... YES...   3. keep his dex bonus if he fights a single opponent 90 degrees to his left. Umm... YES...   4. keep his dex bonus if he fights a single opponent 90 degrees to his right. Umm... YES...If it looks like s**t, smells like s**t, and tastes like s**t...Maybe, just maybe...blindsight -> AAVDon't sit there and tell me what the discription of blindsight does and doesn't say, think outside the box.  Just because it's writen, doesn't mean it's right, or God wouldn't have invented errata's.</blockquote>
