Some ideas I saw on the intertubes, Ron.
1) Flank includes opposite sides (normal) plus the corner spaces on either side.
2) After a target is flanked, all those who border the target get flank on that target.
3) The bonus for flank = the number of flankers.The idea is to make flanking more tactical (and probably more realistic), and to make being swarmed a lot more dangerous. If an entire litter of puppies attacks you, you’re going to get licked good.
Interesting idea. I think it could work but I would want some things that could offset this. For example, someone with whirlwind attack feat would not be subject…something like that.
That would for sure make whirlwind attack a lot more interesting, but I wouldn’t want to see it immunize anyone from basic flanking.
Ruling for Ron’s world: once flank is established on a target, all adjacent opponents get flanking on that target.
For example, if two people are adjacent to target from north and south, then they have flanking +2 to hit (also sneak attackable). If someone then piles on from the east or southwest, they too would enjoy flanking.
