The DMG is the lowest on the list of authoritative sources in this case. The text there also conflicts with the PHB information. Therefor the PHB is the authoritative source to use. Now the DMG also says that the 2 tiny creatures in the same square as the medium one can provide a flanking bonus for each other. This conflicts with the "flanking" rules since in both the PHB and the Rules Compendium. Rules Compendium pg 56 Creatures that have a reach of 0 feet can't flank an opponent, because they don't threaten the squares around them. Click to expand... Same page When making a melee attack, you get a +2 flanking bonus if your opponet is threatened by an ally on the opponent's opposite border or opposite corner. Only a creature that threatens your foe can help you gain a flanking bonus. Click to expand... PHB pg 153 pretty much the same rules. DMG is in error and overriden due to the "conflict".
