[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2773508, member: 22622"] I got to agree, it sounds kinda like a silly concept. Flanking is a rule set up to display how hard it is to defend against two opponents even when they are at their best. That's not to say the house rule is not plausible just useless. I'd say if someone is not defending themselves it is not even a coup de grace but an automatic hit for the other guy. Even the armor does not stop him because if someones ignoring me, i can aim for the head for an automatic critical hit. As for the other guy, well hedoesnt get his flanking bonus. But the victim of the flank gets no bonus's as he treats the person he's paying full attention to as any other opponent he'd be paying full attention to. However, the character would still be considered flanked because he is surrounded by two opponents and does not have much room to maneuver, even if he's ingnoring the guy at his back.
