[QUOTE="werk, post: 3834298, member: 29663"] Yep. You can flank, and the area you threaten is increased...basically it's the same with a reach weapon as with normal melee, draw a line from you to your ally and it has to pass through opposing sides of the foe. So for your first question: "when are you considered flanking? many people i ask say that you have to be next to a square to be flanking it but many others say that i just have to threaten a square to be considered flanking." ...You do not need to be adjacent, you just need to threaten the enemy and be able to draw a strait line from your square(s) through opposing sides of the foe's square(s) and into the square(s) of an ally that is also threatening the foe... Yes, a spiked chains lets you threaten at reach and adjacent, so you gain a measure of flexiblity over 'normal' weapons...it does cost a feat after all. [/QUOTE]
