Hello,
I did a search and found some info that seems to indicate that if you posess the Greater Trip Feat in addition to Tripping Strike you would in fact get an AoO if you trip a foe as a result of Tripping Strike (i.e. you score a critical threat and the confirmation roll exceeds the tragets CMD). That's fantastic if it's the case... But it's not exactly my question...
I'm wondering what modifers you add to the confirmation roll?
Do you use your usual attack bonuses or your CMB? In the case of my PFS Lore Warden his CMB for trip maneuvres will eventually be significantly higher then his regular melee attack bonus. By the time my character qualifies for Tripping Strike he will have the Improved/Greater Trip line of feats in addition to his CMB bonuses from the Lore Warden class. That's an additional +4 for any/all CM's and +8 for Trips specifically
Would I include any/either/all of those bonuses to the critical confirmation roll?
If anyone can also point me to an official ruling that clarifies the AoO that may in fact be gained if you posess Greater Trip when using Tripping Strike that would be great.
Cheers
Tripping strike uses your attack roll on your critical confirmation instead of your CMB for the trip attempt. So, you use your attack bonus, with any and all modifiers applied to your normal attack. You do not substitute your CMB and bonuses from Improved Trip and Lore Warden for your attack bonus on the critical confirmation, which is what I suppose you were hoping the answer was.
You would get the AoO from Greater Trip, however.
