I was wondering how a weapon like this works. It says;
A huge, crude crook of sharpened metal, an ogre hook takes its name from the savages who most typically employ it. Usually created by ogres, these are often Large, and awkward for most humanoids to use.
Benefit: You can use an ogre hook to make trip attacks.
Weapon Feature(s): trip
My question is when a character is using one and makes a successful attack does it deal its damage plus get an additional CMB roll to see if it trips?
No, Origonally in 3.5 and possibly initially in pathfinder you could only make trip aattcacks with a trip weapon. Somewhere along the way that was changed. However, currently any weapon with the trip special quality can be used for the drag or reposition special maneuvers.
So if you have a +2 ogre hook wielded, it would add +2 to attempts to drag or reposition somone. Without that its just your normal cmb + any feats.
but any +2 weapon adds +2 to trip now.
Nope. The trip special quality is mostly a waste of ink. All it does is allow you to drop the weapon instead of falling prone yourself if you fail the trip attempt by more than 10.
You can trip with any weapon. longsword, club, blade-boot, doesn't matter.
Here's the full lowdown
