So, I've made a Staff Magus for a Jade Regent campaign.
My character is one of the front-line melee guys (along with a Monk). The group is not big on hyper optimized characters so I decided to go for a STR based Staff Magus that specializes in tripping attacks for some nice battlefield control.
My concern is that I am going overboard on tripping feats. Can I get some advice?
Here's a link to the character. We're starting at 5th level.
