+1 I'm gearing up to run a Kingmaker campaign which will likely involve 6 players. Having this information handy would be great.
Yes, more please.
There was a gigantic thread about this a couple months ago. The ruling was that you need a trip weapon. Many of us dislike that ruling, and it makes some things wonky, but that is the current ruling. I do not play with it in my games. My take: If you want to trip with a weapon it needs to have the trip special quality. Otherwise you're assumed to be tripping with some part of you that isn't your weapon (foot sweep, hip toss, etc). The reason it isn't specified that those trip attempts are "unarmed" is that you can conceivably do both of those moves (foot sweep, hip toss) and a host of others with full hands. You're just not using the stuff in your hands to do it.
Agreed, except that weapon modifiers potentially add to the trip attempt, i.e. d20+CMB+weapon mod v. CMD. In the case of the quarterstaff wielder, Ragnar would not be able to add his weapon bonuses (Weapon Focus if he's got it, masterwork or enhancements on the staff) to the check. From the SRD: "Add any bonuses you currently have on attack rolls due to spells, feats, and other effects. These bonuses must be applicable to the weapon or attack used to perform the maneuver." Yeah, it ain't perfect, but it's hardly the worst mechanic I've ever seen, and there should be some clear advantage in tripping someone if my weapon has some sort of hook on it. That all being said, play the game in the way that you think is fun!
Hello again! I have just received an email stating that Kingmaker part 6 is ready to ship, but I've never received part 5. I only recently signed up, but since the website gave me the choice to start at part 4 or 5 and I chose 4, I assumed that I'd be getting part 5 automatically. Also, I tried to add part 5 to my cart, but it's not giving me a discount, and is trying to sign me up for an adventure path subscription... Also, I'd like to cancel my subscription after Kingmaker part 6. It's not due to the above, I'm just not interested in Serpent's Skull. Thanks,
On it's way. Thanks a bunch!
When I added the Pathfinder description to this order, it added another copy of Kingmaker 4, which was already on my list. Unfortunately, I did not notice until today, and the order is listed as having shipped yesterday. Fortunately, I got a discount on the duplicate, too. Ideally, the order hasn't really left yet, and it can be caught and corrected prior to shipping. Otherwise, can I just ship the duplicate right back for credit? Thanks,
