Supported rulesets
PTU 1.05
Contact-based flanking
Flank You evaluates enemies occupying cells adjacent to the target. The number of required contact cells scales with the target’s longest side, supporting creatures from 1×1 through 4×4.
A valid flank requires at least two usable enemies and enough combined contact around the target.
D&D 5e 2014
Opposite-side flanking
Two allied attackers must threaten the target from opposite regions around its occupied space.
Flanking is an optional rule in D&D 5e 2014. Enable and use this ruleset only when it is part of your table’s rules.
