trample


Advice


i dont get this ability.
NO ONE will try to avoid... as a druid you go and trample 10 creatures BUT EACH has AOO on you (with -4). now druid normaly get low armor class, so most atacks will hit.
it looks ike a great way to die....

Trample is an awesome way to do Str-based damage to a whole bunch of minions at once. If your AC is lousy and you're really into the idea, just pick up Improved Overrun - it basically turns trample into an auto-hit. (No dodging out of the way OR attack of opportunity.)

Of course, since you don't get Power Attack or magic item bonuses, the damage won't be great, but it's still a lot of fun to trample a bunch of minions into the mud.

since it wont say explicit that trample enjoy overrun feats, DM say its not.... so....

trample always get AOO, unless the roles say other wise.


From what I have found a lot of characters would rather dodge out of the way and not take as much damage. That way they could live to fight another day. I justify it by thinking, "If I survive I can maybe get a full attack, or I could risk dying and maybe get to hit him (natural armor and wild armor can be a blessing)." Any enemy with evasion is going to go for the reflex while an enemy that has more health will take the hit and try to hit you back. It is useful when faced against a lot of small opponents like Reynard said. Just like every ability in pathfinder it is circumstantial.
