Stone Shape says it has an area of 10 cubic feet + 1 cubic foot/level, which at minimum casting level (7) is a brick approximately 2'x2'x4'...

This seems exceedingly small for a 4th level spell!

Is it intended to be 10' + 1'/level in each dimension? So at 7th level it'd be 17'x17'x17' -- 4913 cubic feet?

So, a fighter is armed with a guisarme, and has Improved Trip. He can trip foes as an opportunity attack as they close from 10' to 5'. However, he can't make such an opportunity trip against foes that move from a square adjacent to him, as they aren't threatened...

But! Give him a spiked gauntlet, and then he can, even though the spiked gauntlet can't actually be used to trip?

Do I have all that right? Or does the opportunity attack have to be with the threatening weapon, meaning you could punch the guy, but not trip him since spiked gauntlets aren't a trip weapon?

-

Another question: If the fighter didn't have Improved Trip, would using a trip as an opportunity attack itself trigger an opportunity attack by the moving foe? What if said foe then went for an opportunity trip himself? Weee!

Say I want to unhorse a mounted foe with a guisarme...

How do I do this? Is it just a normal trip attack?

Does the extra d4 bite count as a Secondary Attack?

Also, it seems odd that the "Advanced Template" also gives them +4 to Int, Wis, and Cha... Is that really intended?

I've a few questions about trip. The answers seem obvious to me, but it'd be nice to get such ambiguity ironed out for the FAQ.

1) What's the concentration check for a wizard if he's tripped while casting? What if he's tripped and then hacked via Greater Trip?

2) Can you trip during a Cleave? I assume so, but Cleave's wording mentions doing damage...

3) Does Trip really require to /exceed/ your target's CMD, unlike every other DC? Seems like an oversight.

4) Oh, and just for fun -- can you trip with a non-trip weapon? ;-P

The Lunge Feat reads "You can increase the reach of your melee attacks by 5 feet until the end of your turn by taking a –2 penalty to your AC until your next turn. You must decide to use this ability before any attacks are made."

The wording makes it unclear whether you can use it during an opportunity attack. Can you?
