Deft Doublestrike (Ex)

At 17th level, when a two-weapon warrior hits an opponent with both weapons, he can make a disarm or sunder attempt (or trip, if one or both weapons can be used to trip) against that opponent as an immediate action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

the correct weapons for trip are all weapons right?


When you trip, you don't use any weapon.

Some weapon may be used to trip, but only those with special feature "trip" (like flail for ex).

From the FAQ

Quote:

Trip Weapons: If you want to make a trip combat maneuver, do you have to use a weapon with the trip special feature?

No. When making a trip combat maneuver, you don't have to use a weapon with the trip special feature--you can use any weapon. For example, you can trip with a longsword or an unarmed strike, even though those weapons don't have the trip special feature.
Note that there is an advantage to using a weapon with the trip special feature (a.k.a. a "trip weapon") when making a trip combat maneuver: if your trip attack fails by 10 or more, you can drop the trip weapon instead of being knocked prone.

On a related note, you don't have to use a weapon with the disarm special feature (a.k.a. a "disarm weapon") when making a disarm combat maneuver--you can use any weapon.

Note: This is a revision of this FAQ entry based on a Paizo blog about combat maneuvers with weapons. The previous version of this FAQ stated that using a trip weapon was the only way you could apply weapon enhancement bonuses, Weapon Focus bonuses, and other such bonuses to the trip combat maneuver roll. The clarification in that blog means any weapon used to trip applies these bonuses when making a trip combat maneuver, so this FAQ was updated to omit the "only trip weapons let you apply these bonuses" limitation.

So both weapons (any weapons) are able to trip so I guess the answer is yes.


Defraeter i fear you are wrong, according to This FAQ.

Nicos, yes, any and all weapons can be used for trip attempts, "Trip" weapons simply has the added bonus of letting you drop them if you fail the CMB with more then 10 (if you use a longsword, and fail with 10 or more, you get tripped yourself)

Edit: doh ninjaed =)
