Since the very first sentence in the glossary states that it is "at the beginning of battle", how can it mean anything else? My point was that they, WotC was not accurate at all it what they attempted with these new times you can be flat-footed.  And since they did not, did not, specify that this is a new definition of "flat-footed" then per their own rules the PHB takes precedence and nullifies what they just printed.Calling it flat-footed means a lot more than merely denying Dex mod to AC and no AoO. For one you can't take a swift action.</blockquote>
