SPECIAL ABILITIES
--------------------
Armor Training 3 (Ex) Worn armor -3 check penalty, +3 max DEX.
Bravery +3 (Ex) +3 Will save vs. Fear
Combat Expertise +/-2 Bonus to AC in exchange for an equal penalty to attack.
Felling Smash Trip a foe when you make a power attack
Greater Trip +2 to Trip, target provokes AoO when tripped.
Improved Trip You Trip at +2 and don't cause an attack of opportunity.
Ioun Torch This item is merely a burned out, dull gray ioun stone with a continual flame spell cast upon it. It retains the ability to float and orbit, and allows the bearer to carry light and still have his hands free.
Power Attack -2/+4 You can subtract from your attack roll to add to your damage.
Ram, portable +2 to STR checks to break open a door, and allows a second helper (+2).
Vital Strike Standard action: x2 weapon damage dice.
Weapon Cord Attached weapon can be recovered as a swift action.
Weapon Training: Flails +1 (Ex) +1 Attack, Damage, CMB, CMD with Flails
So he is at a Plus 18 on his trip check that he makes for free when he vital strikes and then gets to follow up that trip with a AOO and when the guy stands up if he has it he can take another AOO?
So he is at a Plus 18 on his trip check that he makes for free when he vital strikes and then gets to follow up that trip with a AOO and when the guy stands up if he has it he can take another AOO?
The trip attempt is not for free, but as a swift action.
So, use the Attack action to make a single attack with Power Attack at +12 (You may use Vital Strike here also), if it hits, make a Swift Action trip at +18, if it works, he provokes attacks of opportunity and falls prone.
Your AoO from Greater Trip is before he falls prone, so he will not have the -4 AC penalty.
Standing up from prone generally provokes, so if it's the next round, or if you have combat reflexes, you could make an attack of opportunity. (This one will be at -4 AC, since he provokes before he stands up from being prone. And no, you can't use the AoO to trip him again because he is already on prone when the attack happens)
Cool that is just how I thought it worked just making sure
So, use the Attack action to make a single attack with Power Attack at +12 (You may use Vital Strike here also), if it hits, make a Swift Action trip at +18
Wrong!
Sorry, that trip attempt will be at +16 because you used power attack, ALL your attacks until the beginning of your next turn are at -2 including the attack roll for a combat maneuver.

Some of those numbers look off, unless I'm missing something.
The flail attack should be 7(bab) + 5(str) + 1(wpn focus) + 1(wpn training) + 1(weapon) = 15
with power attack +13.
Tripping with the flail uses all the same modifiers, plus 4 for tripping feats for a +17 trip CMB.
Ahh, I see what's going on. You have power attack toggled on in Herolab, so the attack bonus (and damage) are already calculating that in. Herolab isn't adjusting your CMB for PA however (nor for your weapon specific bonuses).
I just think this is a pretty cool idea trip and smash over and over again
