FLANK
This feat allows you to perform sneak attack while not in stealth. You must have trained sneak attack for flanking to work. Flanking ranks improve the angle from which you can perform sneak attack. You can flank from any distance as long as your attack has the required range. Defense skill cannot counter flank attacks. Flaking target from behind with small sized weapons adds additional number of attacks that equal your rank in Flank feat and its value equals your first attack in your turn. Examples of the flank can be seen in this field. These symbols represent target's facing direction:
Gray Arrow is a target facing direction to north/up
