Ranged, Flanking, Sneak Attack Question

[shilsen]

Threatening's irrelevant for the attacker. Whether or not you threaten is only important for the ally who's providing the other side of the flank.

What matters for the attacker is making a melee attack. You can gain flanking bonuses with a whip, for example, even though it doesn't threaten, as long as you are making a melee attack, and your ally threatens the target.

I actually noticed that after I posted and thought about editing, but then figured you'd be along to correct it. No kidding. In Hyp we trust

Yea i was more refering to the Creating a Diversion, cause with ranged you can create a diversion and Hide, then when you attack they do not know you are and would be flat Footed.
