There is no discussion of flanking without mentioning the Short Sword of Subtlety.
Flanking qualifies you for Sneak Attack damage. Unless the target has Uncanny dodge, any time you flank, the +4/+4 bonus for the sword kicks in. That's as good as a Bane effect or better.
Combine with a Sun Sword for true damage awesome sauce.

Doesn't the Sword of Subtlety only kick in when you can SA? My character doesn't get SA damage (although he could, I suppose, with multiclassing. There's a stance for it, but switching stances would negate the point). That said, I'll suggest it to the rogue. +4/+4 is pretty sweet.
Unless I'm missing something?

When you flank, do you not qualify for sneak attack damage?
Anytime you could Sneak Attack, you get the bonus. Furthermore, it says nothing about actually having SA damage to inflict, although I'd personally make sure I had some, just in case the DM starts giving me the hairy eyeball...
Uncanny Dodge prevents you from qualifying.
Note that being IMMUNE to Sneak Attack damage is NOT the same as not qualifying to Sneak Attack. So, the sword of subtlety is perfectly useful against undead...your sneak attack damage against undead is 0, but you still qualify to SA them, and so the +4/+4 bonus of the sword kicks in.
QUite nice. If you have the feat combo where you can flank with yourself, you're styling. Except against them dem barbarians.
