[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 2783209, member: 284"] Elusive Target is a Tactical Feat from the Complete Warrior. One of the abilities of the feat is "Cause Overreach" - if you provoke an AoO from movement and your attacker misses you, you get a free trip attempt against that opponent, and they don't get to try and trip you back if you fail to trip them. Now Improved Trip gives you +4 on trip attempts, but it also states "If you trip an opponent in melee combat, you immediately get a melee attack against that opponent as if you hadn't used your attack for the trip attempt." So, if I use the "Cause Overreach" ability and trip someone as I move past them, would I also get a free melee attack on them? I did trip them in melee combat, but I didn't actually use an attack to do it. I'm asking for opinions on this, because it's my character and I'm biased. :) It looks kind of overpowered at first glance, but really it's only likely to work once or twice against intelligent opponents before they decline to make AoO's on you, or choose a different option than a normal melee attack.
