Pummeling Bully: One maneuver per hit or one maneuver if anything hits?


Rules Questions


The pummeling bully feat has the following text:

Quote:
Benefit: When you use Pummeling Style to make an entire full attack or flurry of blows against a single target, if you hit with any of your attacks, you can attempt a reposition or trip combat maneuver check as a free action.

I'm not 100% sure on how this should be parsed. Do you get one trip or reposition if any of your attacks hit, or do you get one trip or reposition for every attack that hits?

I read it as "one trip/reposition if any of your attacks hit"

likewise, thats how I read it.


Just take out the

"if you hit with any of your attacks"

and you are left with:

"When you use Pummeling Style to make an entire full attack or flurry of blows against a single target you can attempt a reposition or trip combat maneuver check as a free action."

Then the phrase:
"if you hit with any of your attacks"

Clarifies that at least one of your attacks should hit for this to take affect.

It is like one of those grammar rules such as:

Tugtuk, the fanatic fire using goblin, drenches himself in oil before setting himself on fire.

The commas add in extra information.
