[QUOTE="Waterbizkit, post: 6817050, member: 6802604"] I've only skimmed the thread because frankly once things devolved into people trying to argue the difference between "standard" and "optional" rules I couldn't stomach it. Regarding what I'm fairly certain was the original topic: flanking does not grant advantage or any other boon in my games. I find that advantage is easy enough to get as is and in fact many class abilities and other things in the game exist expressly to do so. I feel the flanking rule minimizes the impact of those abilities since moving within an enemies reach doesn't even incur an attack. As for the point of it making combat less static, I feel like rather than a more dynamic combat all you'll end up with is PC's and enemies tediously trying to shift around each other rather than something that would actually be enjoyable. However all of that's just my opinion. If it works at your table because you and everyone else likes it then do it. I myself don't like it and my players are happy without it. [/QUOTE]
