[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2774332, member: 22622"] 1. Question: No. An invisible attack assumes you do not know of the attacker but, if you were, you would react. The invisible attack rule is there to give the one being attacked the benefit of hte doubt. There is still a chance the attacker can sense (by hearing, feeling the wind)ect of a weapon coming near him (particularly your head, thus the person being attacked only loses his dex but it not subjective to a coup de grace. This rule factors in the natural reacton humans have to cover up vital areas, like their head, based on instinct. However, in the case of the person ingoring his attacker, he is doing just that. He does not care what type of attack is coming from that other person, he would be focusing his entire attention on dude b. He knows and is aware that Dude as is behind him, but he is choosing to disregard him. Dude has chosen not to defend him. The point of this is choice. Thus, Dude A gets an automatic hit as he aim directly for the head without any defense from Dude. 2. As far as space, your allies are aware of you and it is assumed they are not menancing you with weapons so you are not steadily dodging and weaving their attacks (unless you got pcs whom are always at each others throats as I do). Flanking assumes your enemies are closing your space and menacing you, causing you to focus less. Because they are on opposite sides you have to make a 180 degree turn to properly defend them and even then you half it. [/QUOTE]
