Right now it's all fuzzy in my head, heh.

07-03-07, 04:59 AM It's not quite just needing an ally.
It is "She can designate any adjacent square as the square from which flanking against an ally is determined (including the square where she stands, as normal)."

So the elocater just gets to pick which adjacent square they count as being in for purposes of flanking. Though that square can be an occupied one. It gets particulalrly interesting when the elocator can attack from above a target. Thinking in three dimensions really makes this ability incredibly handy.
