Multiple Free Combat Maneuvers on a single attack


Rules Questions


If a PC has both a Class ability and a weapon ability that grant him free combat maneuver on a crit, can he do both? Seems to me he can choose one.


Does either ability take more than a free action? Apart from action economy I know of no rule to prevemt this.

No, discussing it at our table, we've pretty much concluded that yes he can.


What is the weapon and class abilities?

Ditto. When it comes to free actions

Free actions don’t take any time at all, though there may be limits to the number of free actions you can perform in a turn.

One of those limits is what the GM considers feasible. If the two actions are say, sunder and trip, I'd say probably no. Can't feasibly break the weapon and sweep the legs in one go. If they're like, disarm and sunder, I could see hitting a weapon so hard to damaged it, and flung it from the target's hand.


I dunno, smashing the weapon in your hand so hard I knock you to the ground? Grabbing you and shoving you to the dirt? Running you over and knocking the sword out of your hand? I'm seeing lots of ways to explain pairs of maneuvers.
