Dimensional Savant

[Waldham]

While using the Dimensional Dervish feat, you provide f lanking from all squares you attack from. Flanking starts from the moment you make an attack until the start of your next turn. You can effectively f lank with
yourself and with multiple allies when using this feat.

If there are 8 cases around the target, the character obtains + 8 to the attack as he attacks at 4 places in the same time ?

Dunno if you can flank with yourself (i would think no, when you are in only one place btw), but sure bonus are not cumulative.

flank will only provide +2. Same as if you had allies in all the other squares. But you do bring up an interesting thought. Up to 4 allies can aide in an attack, so since you are flanking with yourself, could you instead aide yourself?

The spell says you can flank with yourself.

But no, I wouldn't say flanking bonuses would be cumulative.

Flanking is always a +2 bonus regardless of how many allies are flanking with you.

The feat specifically says that you may (imagine a person appearing behind you, attacking, you turn around only to find he is behind you again)

As the other poster said you either have flanking or you don't it is digital, you can't get more flanking than flanking. I would agree that you could aide with yourself (as cool as it might be and I would allow something like that if Time was being manipulated rather than just a Correspondence effect.) The feat breaks the rules in very specific ways, you provide flanking from every square you were in until the start of your next turn, you may flank with yourself.

Aid another is a standard action, so you couldn't use aid another with yourself.

The interesting question is what happens if you also have the Outflank feat ? Free attack with every crit ? : )

Outflank:

Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +4.

Benefit: Whenever you and an ally who also has this feat are flanking the same creature, your flanking bonus on attack rolls increases to +4. In addition, whenever you score a critical hit against the flanked creature, it provokes an attack of opportunity from your ally.

I see I'm not the only one to have noticed that. We were building for a 13th level game (I was playing a warlock/rogue) and the best we could work out was it did work. Also scary when you have a vivisectionist/rage chemist/master chymist as an ally....

[ShadowcatX]

That does seem to be how that would work.

[Waldham]

Swift Aid (combat)
Prerequisites: Int 13, Combat Expertise, base attack bonus +6.

Benefit: As a swift action, you can attempt the aid another action, granting your ally either a +1 bonus on his next attack roll or a +1 bonus to his AC.

Normal: Aid another is a standard action.

Benefit: You can take a full-attack action, activating abundant step or casting dimension door as a swift action.

You dont have a swift action free to aid.

Though, if you can caste DD, then you should have a method to buff yourself up before using DDD.
