Is a triggered Dancing Rune weapon considered an ally?
Since a weapon that has a Dancing rune triggered becomes “autonomous and strike your foes”, does that make it an ally? The reason that I am asking is because I am wondering if a dancing Blade of the Rabbit Prince would qualify for the Rogue’s Gang Up feat which utilizes you and your ally to “harry an opponent in concert”. My logic is that since companions, who are still under control of the player, are considered allies for feats like Gang Up and Squad Tactics, an item that attacks an enemy on its own would also qualify.
Just for clarification, I understand that in the definition of the Dancing Rune, it says that it does not provide flanking however in this case, it is not the location of the other attack rather the fact that it is a different attack not under the control of the player that triggers the feat(s), yielding the “flat-footed” condition.
Here are the definitions so you do not have to look them up:
