Hello,

I was hoping for some clarification on the Ki throw feat:

Prerequisites: Improved Trip, Improved Unarmed Strike.

Benefit: On a successful unarmed trip attack against a target your size or smaller, you may throw the target prone in any square you threaten rather than its own square. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity, and you cannot throw the creature into a space occupied by other creatures.

Special: A monk may gain Ki Throw as a bonus feat at 10th level. A monk with this feat can affect creatures larger than his own size by spending 1 ki point per size category difference.

The text of the feat seems to imply that monks are allowed to bypass the normal limitation on tripping (to one size category higher) by spending ki points. Is this a correct presumption?

Thanks,

Sean
