[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 2775657, member: 18280"] You do know, I hope, that comments like these seem rather desperate? Especially coupled with comments like "you should just drop it" and "there is no other way to evaluate the rules except based upon what they say". You do know that this is a [I][B]House Rules[/B][/I] forum, right? People who devise house rules seldom believe that "there is no other way to evaluate the rules except based upon what they say". :p If, as you say, "there is no other way to evaluate the rules except based upon what they say," please point this out in the rules to me. :p That's not actually what the rules say. It seems that you are extrapolating. And, as you know, "there is no other way to evaluate the rules except based upon what they say". :lol: If you truly believe that "there is no other way to evaluate the rules except based upon what they say" then please point out to me where the rules say "you are not actively ignoring the NPC ally". Otherwise, it is a pretty clear extrapolation that a creature can be in the flanking position without you ignoring them, and without them granting a flanking bonus to another creature. RC [/QUOTE]
