That is not an AC penalty for the flanked creature, its a +2 AB bonus for the flanking creatures.Thats mostly a semantic difference as the effect is the same. I don't recall off hand if that is the D&D implementation or whether it was modified for NWN.

I don't recall off hand if that is the D&D implementation or whether it was modified for NWN.Not quite just semantics. Enemy ranged attackers don't get a bonus to hit, it's only those actually flanking.Also: referenced in Chongo's comment, but not explicitly stated here - Sneak Attack only has to beat your flat-footed AC, I believe.
