'''Flanking'''
'''Flanking'''


Flanking is achieved when two friendly targets threaten a border or corner opposite of one another. If a creature is larger than one square, or has a Reach of more than 5ft, it counts as Flanking if it threatens a space on the opposite border or corner from an enemy creature.

A creature is only considered to threaten a square if it is able to melee attack that square. A Prone creature can flank, for example, but an Unconscious one cannot.

If the defender survives this attack, that creature and its allies are Partially Surprised and combat begins. If the creature that is attacked is reduced to 0 HP or knocked unconscious and the attacking creature is Unseen, the victim’s allies that are within 30ft make an AWR check against the attacker’s DEX. If the attacker wins all skill contests, it remains Unseen and combat does not begin. Otherwise, [[Initiative]] is rolled and Partial Surprise rules apply to all Surprised creatures.
