    Default Pathfinder Flowing Monk - Rules Question

    I have a question about how the flowing monk's elusive target ability works.
    On the SRD it says that if you are being flanked when you use this ability, and you successfully evade the damage, you can redirect the damage to the enemy opposite the enemy attacking.
    What's confusing to me is how the ability is presented.
    The flanking clause is presented immediately after the 11th level improvement to the amount of damage evaded, without a paragraph break.
    Does this mean that the flanking part of this ability can only be used once you reach 11th level, or is it an active part of the ability when you first get the ability at 5th level?

    Might want to move this to the 3.5 section, you'll get better answers.

    Double-checked the main entry, it contains the same weird structure. I'd say that since the redirection option is presented as a separate sentence and idea from the 11th level notation, it kicks in as soon as you gain the ability.
