Whip wielder and flanking


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as a favorite.

So I have a rogue wielding a whip and was wondering what positions would allow his allies to provide a flanking bonus.

a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 a8
b1 Cl Br b4 b5 b6 b7 b8
c1 Fr EE c4 c5 c6 c7 c8
d1 d2 d3 d4 d5 d6 d7 d8
e1 e2 e3 e4 e5 e6 e7 e8
h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6 h7 h8

As far as I can tell, with the enemy (EE)...

The fighter(Fr) would provide a flanking bunus if the rogue was at...
c4, b5, c5, d5, b6, c6, d6

The cleric(Cl) would provide a flanking bunus if the rogue was at...
d4, e5

The barbarian(Br) would provide a flanking bunus if the rogue was at...
d3, e2, e3, e4, h2, h3, h4

Am I correct?


Seems correct. I wasn't sure about b5 and d5, but the line seems to go through the corner and that counts.

However none of the others would receiver a Flanking bonus from the rogue because Whips don't threaten.

Unless you have Improved Whip Mastery.
