Dang it! Weapon enchantments that aid tripping?

You guys are fantastic. Thank you! The Magic of Faerun ability sounds just perfect.

Well, almost perfect.

You can't use it "off-the-shelf" on a whip.

Not on a 3.0 whip, but just fine on a 3.5 whip.

Yeah, but to the best of my knowledge, Piratecat hasn't switched...

Get with the times, PC! You need melee whippage!

 

[Hypersmurf]

Get with the times, PC!

Damn it, now I've got that bloody song stuck in my head.

Close friends get to call him 'PC'...
Pro-vi-ding it's with dignity...!

Gah.

Sagiro's given me the okay, although I'll doublecheck the not-allowed-on-a-whip rule with him. It seems like a natural match. We have a general rule that if something is new, we allow it provisionally with the understanding that it can get booted if it turns out to be unbalanced. It seems to work pretty well so far.

I suspect it's probably fine, given that a/ Improved Trip doesn't work with a 3E whip (unless you're in unarmed strike range, in which case you're provoking AoOs), b/ whips can't be used to make AoOs, and c/ in 3E there's no AoO for Standing from Prone.

It's not a balance issue, it's just making sure everyone knows it's by-the-book-illegal, so that there's a defined house rule in place, rather than having someone notice three sessions later.
