Lastwall phalanx & solo tactics

[thistledown]

Nifty new teamwork feat in champions of purity.

solo tactics:

At 3rd level, all of the inquisitor’s allies are treated as if they possessed the same teamwork feats as the inquisitor for the purpose of determining whether the inquisitor receives a bonus from her teamwork feats. Her allies do not receive any bonuses from these feats unless they actually possess the feats themselves. The allies’ positioning and actions must still meet the prerequisites listed in the teamwork feat for the inquisitor to receive the listed bonus.

lastwall phalanx:

Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +3, good alignment.

Benefit: You gain a sacred bonus to your AC against the attacks of evil creatures and a sacred bonus to saves against the spells and abilities of evil creatures equal to the number of adjacent allies who also have this feat.

So, as I take that, solo tactics only cares about positioning and actions of the other characters, not alignment or other prereqs. Thus, I get the bonus equal to all my adjacent party members, no matter what?

Looks that way.

If the feat said "equal to the number of adjacent good-aligned allies who also have this feat," then maybe/probably their alignment would matter for you. But it only requires that they be allies, be adjacent, and have the feat. Solo Tactics lets you pretend all your allies have the same teamwork feats you do, but only for your benefit, not theirs.

Having the good aligned clause would obviously normally be redundant, but with a feature like Solo Tactics, it actually makes a difference. Solo Tactics is sort of like class bonus feats that ignore requirements, just applied to other people and solely from your perspective.

But none of that actually matters here anyway. Your question was simply does it care anything about your allies other than them being adjacent, and the answer is that it does not.
