"Ranged Trip
Source Bestiary pg. 85
This weapon can be used to Trip with the Athletics skill at a distance up to the weapon’s first range increment. The skill check takes a –2 circumstance penalty. You can add the weapon’s item bonus to attack rolls as a bonus to the check. As with using a melee weapon to trip, a ranged trip doesn’t deal any damage when used to Trip. This trait usually only appears on a thrown weapon."
Howdy. So as the tagline says, when one uses an Aklys--which has the Ranged Trip trait (see above). Does one use Dex for the Athletics (attack trait which I assume means attack roll). Or do I use Str still?
What happens if you critical fail. Do you still fall down. (I assume you get caught on the cord as you throw it or something and trip yourself) or are there alternate rules for tripping with weapons somewhere?
