Looking for clarification or impute on the following:
If 2 players have a monster flanked as per the flanking rules in the DMG, and a third player, in this case a halfing, uses 10 feet of his move to engage the monster. Can he momentarily occupy the same square as one of the 2 flanking players so that he can attack with the flanking advantage then uses the rest of his move to continue out of the player occupied square?
One side says that stopping long enough to make an attack qualifies for the "you can't willingly end your move in its space" as per page 191 of the PHB.
the other side says you are not ending your move in the space and you are using Breaking Up Your Move rule in page 190 of the PHB
The compromise was to allow the attack but not the advantage for flanking, witch is the same thing as disallowing the move due to the fact that the player in question was just looking for the advantage flanking gave him.
