[QUOTE="Herzog, post: 4739619, member: 25696"] Let's assume all but one of the attackers have improved invisibility, and one attacker is visible. All are rogues. round 1: The defender is unaware of the (invisible) attackers. Since the reasoning behind 'flanking' is that the defender has to devide his attention, I would rule: no flanking bonus, but the attacks by the invisible oponents will catch the defender flatfooted. round 2: The defender is aware of the attackers (since they have just attacked him) So, flanking bonus for the visible attacker. Not sure about the invisible attackers. Is the defender still considered flatfooted because they are invisible? They will get a flanking bonus. round 3: All invisible attackers take a 5' step away. Does the visible attacker get a flanking bonus if the defender is under the impression he is still flanked? [/QUOTE]
