Ignoring Opponents (3.5e Variant Rule)

== Ignoring Opponents ==

Introduction
Summary::Ignoring opponents is a dangerous, but occasionally effective, way to ignore the penalty for being flanked.

Rule Mechanics
During your turn, you can declare that you are ignoring (or no longer ignoring) one or more opponents. This has the following effects:
 * An opponent that you ignore is not counted for determining whether you are flanked by other creatures.
 * You lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) against opponents you are ignoring.
 * You cannot make attacks of opportunity against opponents you are ignoring.
 * Any opponent that you ignore is entitled to attacks of opportunity against you per round, up to that opponent's maximum per round. These attacks may be made by the opponent at any point in the round as long as they are currently being ignored, have not met their attack of opportunity limit for the round, and threaten you at the time they wish to use them.
