Jack, you messed up on the AC again, some of the attacks I made would have hit. Flanking removes all bonus to AC, and makes it easier to hit, so it would be flat-footed AC minus 2. And Elorin figured that out...
Woo! Level 14 rogue! Or maybe I should finnally multiclass into something now...

Flanking does not remove any bonuses to AC, it just gives a +2 bonus to hit the flanked enemy. Flanking allows sneak attacks not because it denies the enemy's dex bonus to AC, but because it is specifically listed as a separate condition that allows sneak attacks. The attack that should have hit was one where you rolled a 27 (not including the flanking bonus), with the Maralith's AC being 29.
Why not take another dragon hit die? d12 HP, +1 BAB, +1 to all saves, almost as many skill points as a rogue. Keep it up long enough, and you might eventually get to increase your age category.
