As the title asks, how does Improved Outflank actually work? From the reading of the feat, and since your flanking partner would have the feat as well, is flanking calculated for each based on the unoccupied space, or does one need to actually be in the proper space? I contend the feat reads that both can be adjacent to the unoccupied space that would normally flank.
What do you guys think?
It allows you to be one square away from your normal Flank zone and still be considered flanking, as long as you are still threatening the enemy.
Normally in order to flank someone, you have to be able to draw an imaginary line between you and your ally and have it go through two sides of the target to be flanked. So, just like MaxWar said, this allows you to flank from one square away from where that imaginary line would have to be.
wasn't it supposed to be from opposite sides? Ex: normally crossing front and left side doesn't count as flanking.
Yes you are right, Ryze Kuja did not quote the rule properly. Flanking is normally quite restrictive and you can only do it from the very opposite side.
