I am planning on a Shield Champion Brawler thrown weapon trip build and I was wondering if I would still suffer the issue of falling prone if the attempt fails by 10 or more.
Logically I see the situation as you try and trip someone and they resist so hard they knock you over. This wouldn't be possible with a thrown weapon, but the following passage from Shield Champion points to using melee rules:
Shield Champion wrote:
At 7th level, a shield champion can use a thrown shield to perform a bull rush, dirty trick, disarm, reposition, or trip combat maneuver as if she were making a melee shield bash attack.
Thoughts?
