[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 148804, member: 284"] No, it doesn't. Being flat-footed for example, means that you cannot react even if you know it's coming. [b][/b] That's nice, if you have Ubiquitous Vision. However, blindsight doesn't not have any text granting this ability, therefore it does not. [b][/b] No, it becaue you have the [b]Ubiquitous Vision[/b] ability. The rest is just flavor text explaining the benefits of the ability. Blindsight does not grant this ability. If it did make you unflankable, it would say so. [b][/b] Nope. [b][/b] Nope. All around vision may be used as flavor text to explay [b]why[/b] a specific power or ability makes you immune to flanking, but by itself it does not. [b][/b] Nope. Being flanked ahs absolutely no effect on a persons dexterity. It just gives the flanking opponents a +2 on their attack rolls against you, and allows a rogue to sneak attack you if you don't have an ability that makes you unflankable (i.e. uncanny dodge, and apparently ubiquitous vision.) Blindsight does not list being unflankable as one of it's benefits, therefore it is not a benefit of blindsight. [b][/b] I think you need to read up on flanking some more. It has nothing to do with whether or not you have your dex bonus. [b][/b] Maybe. But AAV does not by itself make you unflankable. [b][/B] Hey, your right! You know, I don't think that you should only get extra attacks at a +6 BAB. I think everytime my BAB increases I should get another attack, because it makes sense to me that every time my fighting skill increases I can attack faster. I'm sure what's in the PHB is wrong, and they will errata it to my satisfaction soon enough. [/QUOTE]
