Flanking is an optional rule in 5e, coming from the DMG on page 251. It's a tactic, that if in play, can grant melee characters advantage on attacks pretty easily. Is this rule good? Should you use it at your table? In this video, I discuss the flanking rules, and suggest some alternate flanking rules to make it a little more balanced.
