[QUOTE="Primitive Screwhead, post: 2602632, member: 20805"] Flanking, the D20 term.... and flanking, the English term. Per SRD above: Attacker must move opposite an ally, flanking them. Attacker gains Flanking only when making melee attack. Ally provides Flanking only when threatening opponent.. which is only done with melee weapons. In order to gain Flanking, all three statements need to be true. Two of those statements specifically exclude ranged weapons. [b]Without feats, spells, or class abilities, can you Flank with a ranged weapon?[/b] THe D20 term? nope. The English term? yup. I have no idea where the confusion is coming from... And to continue the discussion on Formian's ... but thats not what the poll is about. :lol: [b]TheEvil[/b] Formians simply add one more check to see if flanking = Flanking. That check is "Is any Formian that is in the encounter not Flanked" If the answer is no, then the attacking flankers gain Flanking bonuses. The difficult part is that these checks need to be made for each attack... Simple, ne' pas? [/QUOTE]
