[QUOTE="atom crash, post: 2111524, member: 22162"] It's worth noting that the text in the PHB (and repeated in the example illustrations) is the same as the SRD version, except of course where the iconic character are referenced in the pictures. I tend to post mostly while I'm at work, where I only have access to the online SRD. I like to come home, crack open my PHB and see how the two sources differ. In the case of flanking, they don't. Except the illustration also says, "Here, Regdar and Lidda give each other flanking bonuses, while Tordek enjoys a sandwich and Jozan sips lemonade." Okay so it doesn't really say that about Tordek and Jozan, but I think it sounds better that way. Doesn't Tordek look like he enjoys the occasional sandwich? ;) It's also worth noting that the example illustrations in the PHB are not all-inclusive in any other section, so I believe that they are also not all-inclusive in the flanking section either. Check out the one example for Attacks of Opportunity (p. 138), which covers movement, casting a spell and drinking a potion. These are the most common examples of actions provoking AoO, just as the illustrations cover the most common examples of flanking. Okay, maybe that's a stretch, but my point is that just because it's not illustrated doesn't mean it's not possible. [/QUOTE]
