Spear User Question

[Enryuu]

Hi guys, I have just looked in to making a reach weapon user for pathfinder society play at my local gathering.
I like to try and think through my characters and read up quite a lot before I start committing to certain feats etc. I have been reading a lot recently and after googling still haven't found an answer to a question involving my planned build path.

Basically, I'm looking at combat reflexs (obvs) and greater trip more specifically. I have always been under the impression (I'm pretty new in the grand scheme of things) that you can only use one AoO on an enemy per turn HOWEVER greater trip allows me to use an AoO on a tripped target, if the mob moves through my threatened zone and I opt to go for a trip maneuver (AoO) and succeed does my greater trip allow me to then take precedence and allow me to make an attack role as it is all part of the same action or does the AoO rules stop that?

If I have somehow missed this when checking forums then SORRY.
Please leave tips if you have any experience or even if you want to question what I have planned ^^

You are usually allowed one AoO per triggering action. In your example, the enemy moves out of a threatened space, triggering an AoO. If you use that AoO to make a trip, then Greater Trip generates a separate AoO which you can then take. Greater Trip is a separate trigger, and you can take both, assuming you have the ability to take multiple AoOs such as from combat reflexes.

That is how it seemed like it would go but as you said it goes against what I have known for the last 6 months. Really appreciate the quick response as well! Thanks.
