Doing damage while tripping


Advice


I was wondering, while being unarmed (or using weapons that count as unarmed), is there any way to do at least one point of damage while tripping an opponent?

The only "unarmed" weapon is the unarmed strike.

Brass knuckles, guantlets, cestus, dan bong, emei piercer...

Those were updated as simply light weapons.

So is hitting someone with your bare fist.

Now, does anyone know if there is there any way to do at least one point of damage while tripping an opponent?

Magic Items...?
Feats...?
Nifty bribes to the GM...?


Play 3.5e, or use the Improved Trip feat from that setting.

Where is that from?


Dragon Empires Primer, perhaps?

I am not sure, but it sounds like it would be from that book.

And we are free to ignore the stupid errata :D


I just wanted to if there is any way to cause damage while tripping an opponent...

...even 1 point.

Ki Diversity is from Pathfinder Chronicles: Faction Guide.


Vicious Stomp - Attack of Opportunity anytime an opponent becomes prone adjacent to you (must be taken with an Unarmed Strike)

Greater Trip - successful trip provokes AoO by any relevant opponents

I have a maneuver master monk who loves vicious stomp.

The knockdown rage power for Barbarians, from the APG:

Knockdown (Ex): Once per rage, the barbarian can make a trip attack against one target in place of a melee attack. If successful, the target takes damage equal to the barbarian's Strength modifier and is knocked prone. This does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
