Specifically for teamwork feats like back to back and allied spellcaster.
I'm playing in a campaign where we need to play two characters so this is the first time I've really taken a look at some of the teamwork feats in more depth.
my specific senario is I'm making a magus and a wizard who are taking allied spellcaster. If my wizard is diagonal from my magus are they adjacent?
so for example my magus wants to use shocking grasp on some goblin. In this instance would he get plus one caster level assuming my wizard has it prepared as well?
e = enemy
u = unoccupied
m = magus
w = wizard
ueuu
umuu
uuwu
Off topic question though I believe I'm correct in thinking yes, if my wizard has already cast shocking grasp is it still considered something prepared for allied spellcaster?
Yes. The only exception that comes to mind is if there is a corner. You can't attack around a corner or 5' step around a corner diagonally. I believe you'd still be considered adjacent for the purposes of teamwork feats even if there was a corner though others might not agree.
Edit: didn't even notice the second question lol. I agree with hgsolo. Once cast, the spell is no longer prepared.
Yes, you are adjacent in that instance. As for the second question, I would argue that if the wizard has cast shocking grasp it is no longer prepared.
Adjacent means that you have a facing in common with another character.
Using a 3x3 diagram numbered like a conventional number pad.
If you are sitting in position 5, 2, 4,6,and 8 are adjacent to you. And you to them.
This is different than I answered in his other post. (It's a shame we chose to post on different of OP's multiple threads).
Extrapolating from your response, one can draw the conclusion that a character standing in position 5 of the number pad would not be able to 5' step to position 1, 3, 7 or 9 and that they could attack those same squares with a reach weapon since they are not adjacent whereas I believe neither of these conditions to be true based on my knowledge of the rules.
Can you offer some clarity on this matter please?
indeed each corner actually counts on each axis if you check in the combat section of the rules.
All squares into which you could normally make a 5ft step (assuming no problem from terrain) should be considered adjacent. If you were looking at a normal number pad and in position 5, all other positions (1-9) would be considered adjacent to you. As well, the 3x3 square 5ft up and 5ft below are also adjacent to you, though this will rarely come up.

Uh, no...
If you are in position 5 on a 3x3 grid ALL the other squares are adjacent to you...
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
However, I've seen enough of your posts LazarX to know you know the rules so I presume this was just a brain cramp - you're probably thinking about threatening diagonals with a reach weapon!
