[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 1802913, member: 23094"] Sorry, Hyp. My Nethack skills are weak. You'll have to be a bit clearer. I'll guess, however. I assume that the @ is the rogue archer, and that the O is the goblin. Likewise, the dwarf is H. In this case, no, you wouldn't be flanking him, because the dwarf does not threaten the goblin - which is required for the flanking condition: Likewise, the dwarf does not get a flanking bonus on his attack roll on his turn, because you do not threaten the goblin. Hey, I agree that it seems incorrect, but then the rules are known for having loopholes. Do you have the actual 3.X PHB or DMG? I'm limited to the SRD at work. Again, however, it doesn't matter with regards to the initial question. If the rogue's got his rapier in one hand, and the wand in the other, he's: 1. Threatening 2. Flanking So, he's flanking while he's standing there drinking a potion, flanking while he's throwing daggers across the room, flanking while the fighter's drinking a potion, flanking while the fighter is throwing daggers across the room, but [b]not[/b] when he points a wand at the goblin and fires? It seems a bit strange. [/QUOTE]
