[edit] Notes
- Exclusive to Hordes of the Underdark.
- The inability to be flanked, granted by the higher versions of this feat, is extremely powerful in that it makes a character immune to sneak attacks whenever he is attacking something. However, this immunity is only effective while attacking — if the character stops attacking (such as when he can no longer reach his current target), he becomes subject to sneak attacks again.
