Do the Headless Chicken Dance!").  Of course, the abrupt yank as he brings the high-speed flyer to a sudden stop is likely to pull him off his feet as well.Levitating flyers like beholders should be less affected - you might be able to yank them down but they just bob back up.  Air elementals and other Perfect-maneuverability critters ought to be immune to Trip-like attacks.You should be able to trip an incorporeal critter with a Ghost Touch weapon if you could trip a non-incorporeal critter of that type with a normal weapon.  Problem is, a lot of ghosts, shadows, etc don't seem to have feet per se, but if you think of the Trip as more of a Knockdown, sure, you can smack that ghost upside the head with your ghost touch quarterstaff and knock him to (or through!) the floor.</blockquote>
