Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ankh-Morpork Guard" data-source="post: 1999425" data-attributes="member: 10079">So...if this whole ranged flanking thing is really supported in the rules. Why is there no example? Why is it NEVER mentioned? Everything else is. Medium creatures, large creatures, medium creatues with reach, even LARGE creatures with reach. But never ranged weapons. In fact, ranged is never mentioned, even though melee is.You continually use the 'when in doubt' quote while ignoring the 'attacking in melee'. The 'when in doubt' only applies if there is a conflict with the 'attacking in melee' and having an ally directly opposite you. There is no indication, ANYWHERE, that you can do this with a ranged weapon. It even specifies that creatures with reach 0 cannot flank. Why are ALL of the examples with melee weapons?And why is it that you dismiss the Rules of the Game quote? Just because it doesn't agree with you? It is NOT based on 3.0. It is from AFTER 3.5, which means that it is based on the 3.5 rules. It seems to me that you absolutely refuse any possibility that you are wrong, even when the most recent evidence(the Rules of the Game article), like it or not, does not support you. As dcollins has said, get an actual designer to say something, but if you're going to disregard one article, you can't go picking and choosing which one you want just because it doesn't support you.</blockquote>
