Sry if this has been asked but i couldnt find it. Im about to start playing in a gestalt compaign and I will be playing a ninja/flowing monk so naturally Im looking at all the ways to catch someone flat-footed. The Seven-brached sword reads as followed.
Benefit: The shorter blades can be used to snag opponents’ clothing or armor, or can target weapons in order to disarm them. To snag armor or clothing, the attacker makes a trip attempt. If successful, the victim doesn’t fall prone, but instead is snagged and stumbles forward, leaving the victim flat-footed for the remainder of the round.
Flowing monk Redirection reads as followed.
Redirection (Ex): At 1st level, as an immediate action, a flowing monk can attempt a reposition or trip combat maneuver against a creature that the flowing monk threatens and that attacks him.
So the question is can I use the Seven-brached sword as part of Redirection's trip?
