Any target the ranger hits in combat becomes flanked for the rangers allies. Its cool because the ranger can provide flanking to multiple targets and no one has to be basicly behind enemy lines to provide the flanking bonus. the drawback is that the ranger has to actually hit the target to provide flanking so the flanking bonus for the allies is inconsistant.

I knew I'd read it somewhere, but just couldn't find it again, thanks! :D
