Monk/Warlock Wickedness

[RolandOfGilead]

Ok, just playing around with a neat little build, and wanted some input from some of you on the broken-ness of this particular combo:

Flee the scene (Dimension Door at will + major image)
Sun School Tactical Feat - Flash of Sunset - When you move adjacent to an enemy instantly, as through the use of Dimension Door, you can make a single attack at your highest attack bonus.

Also, if you are already adjacent and teleport on the opposite side of your foe, is he flanked by your major image?
I'm making a warlock that uses this combo, and wondered. thanks!

The image doesn't have a threatened area, thus cannot help with flanking.

Not familiar with the details, but it sure doesn't look broken. A monk giving up his flurry? go ahead, get one attack a round. the bad guy still gets full attacks.

Also, if you are already adjacent and teleport on the opposite side of your foe, is he flanked by your major image?

By RAW, no, it doesn't work. Of course, it brings up the ugliness of 'do you have to know you are threatened?' and 'what if you think you are threatened?' crap.

I may give you a +2 cirumstance bonus for 'blinking' around the BBEG. But you need to concentrate to make the image move... so it isn't all that believable as a 'threat'. I may give it a flanking bonus against an animal...

I'm pretty sure that if you fail the save vs. the image, you think you're flanked. The image being ajacent to the target (trying to threaten) would be enough to me require a will save to disbelieve.

This kind of question is best resolved by just giving the saving throw and not thinking too hard about it. If the target fails, he is flanked.

If you can figure out how to make this move pay dividends, in spite of giving up a full iterative attack, you deserve all powergaming goodness you can get out of it. I must commend you on the remarkable stylishness of the move -- more than cool enough to be worth doing just for fun.
