Hmm. So full rebuild. I'd have preferred grandfathering, but I think I can make this work.

Now to figure out what and how.

Lorewarden has no CMB bonus outside of its +2 insight from Know Thy Enemy, which doesnt stack with a Rose Prism, dueling weapons are for disarm and you have a nameless +4 luck bonus I assume came from your ass

So it looks to me like thats a grand total of 9+5+4+4+2+2+2+4=32, which is not even close

Also the numbers you listed add up to 42, maybe double check a few things in the future

Xevious573 already explained my math and the Dueling enchantment.

I listed the sources I used for a reason, because there is a new book with a different Lore Warden archetype.

Ill give you the benefit of the doubt on your +40 comment, because thats impossible without getting Path of War involved (which I highly recommend).

You are not allowed to trip huge creatures (unless you are large or wear titanic armor as medium creature).
You cannot trip flying or swimming creatures.
You cannot trip creatures without legs (oozes, snakes, nagas for example).

Now if I meet something that is actually trippable I want it to stick or I would have been better off with simply dishing out damage as CMD ramps up much faster than AC.

I'm in favor of grandfathering.

Alternatively someone pm me a level 8 build with roughly +32 to trip and +28 to reposition as I am going to need that to rebuild into to keep the flavor of the character in combat.

wait... has anyone still on this thread actually MADE a Lore Warden?

Hello!

I'm a trip / reposition focused librarian.

Which has me currently at 8 levels of Lore Warden

In memoriam: Rockbottom.

Rockbottom was a brave snapping turtle, the animal companion and guardian of Didjety, a kitsune sorceress with whom I traveled in the Shackles.
Rockbottom died while valiantly trying to guard his sorceress from a couple of nasty bodycontrolling squidlike beings. His sacrifice was not in vain, as Didjety was safely recovered. Unfortunately his thick shell did not prevent the squids from grappling him and pushing their tentacles into his brain and taking him over.
Since they took off underwater with his body and we did not have the swim speeds to match them we were unable to recover his body for a raise companion spell.

Didjety will be raising and training an Archelon, of which we found several eggs to accompany her on her following travels. I am not yet aware of the new name for her companion.
