[QUOTE="Camarath, post: 1051411, member: 11987"] As long as the character can chose to view anyone they wish as an ally or emeny (regardless of that creatures view of the situation). Also I think that there are times when one has allies of convenience. For example Your character and a drow are on oppisite side of an orc. Your character and the drow both intend to harm one another but are both currently attacking the orc so IMO can chose to gain the flanking bonus as if they were actualy allies. IMO the character can treat any creature they wish as an ally if reciprocation is required then the creature must also choose th view the character as an ally. By the same token I think one can treat there normal allies as enemies if the situation requires it.
