Furious Focus Combat Maneuvers

[DocShock]

Hey guys,

I'm playing a trip-specialist hunter in Iron Gods and that adventure path is doing its best to make sure I never trip anything despite my best efforts. As a result, I've been considering choosing not to power attack during my turn to make sure my trip works and then let my party do most of the damage.

My question is this: If I take furious focus, can I choose to ignore the penalty from power attack on my first COMBAT MANEUVER of the turn, so that my trip attempt is made at my full BAB?

It clearly says in the section detailing Combat Maneuvers that CM rolls are attack rolls, so yes.
