D&D 5E [OCC] Against the Slavelords PBP

No I don't normally use the flanking rules. I do have some creatures have the Pack Tactics ability which allows them to grant adjacent allies Advantage, or if they are flanking, both advantage. But the drow don't have that ability

Trying to post, but I keep getting bad gateway errors. I can't seem to reach the RG. I've been fighting a bad cold and I think ENWorld must have caught it.

I think his initiative is +3, so that's what I've roll, but I could be way off. [roll0].

Sorry to hear that Scotley... do you want me to roll for you? What actions do you want to take? The heroes all get to go before the villains.

I have been having some issues this morning with EN World also though

That might be what confused me. I'll pay attention next time

Yes there is an optional rule for flanking in the DMG and while I like it I am not using any optional rules right now...

Just waiting for [MENTION=6801311]KahlessNestor[/MENTION] roll and action...

Sorry. Got sidetracked by another project last night. I will get to it tonight.

I don't much like the flanking rule. Advantage is easy enough to get as is, and very powerful. To make it that easy would be killer. But to each their own

I knew it was there. I'm not a fan though, it's either awesome - easy way to get advantage - or meh - if you already have advantage.

Hehe well I admit... in our Face-To-Face game the GM uses flanking... and so my Paladin and the Fighter are horrible on our enemies. Especially as my Paladin has Athletic and a 20 Strength... he can jump over the front line a lot so flanking is easy for us (we are 11th level though hehe) ah good times

But yes otherwise they do make it too easy to gain Advantage
