Talk:Flank

The info on the main page doesn't really help. I was testing how this attack bonus is handled by the game, cause it's really important to keep one's AC >than enemies' attack, lest they break through the Mirror Image. I noticed that the flank bonus does NOT apply if you use spells, seems only to apply for weapons. My favorite tactic at low levels is to use Sleep on enemies, then coup de grace them. Note that coup de gracing will give flanking enemies a bonus +2 to attack, but casting spells will not. So first put all enemies asleep, THEN coup de grace them. A good idea is to summon your familiar. It takes one round to summon the familiar, but the little cute animal can help you coup de grace enemies (1 per round), so you can finish them all off before sleep wears off (can be a problem at low levels due to short duration, even more so when using color spray).WRFan 19:06, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
