Was the successful hit made with a weapon?  If so, the weapon deals the stated damage.  Nothing in the Trip text denies this.For a comparison, let's say I have the Improved Trip feat.  The Trip text doesn't state that if I succeed in tripping my opponent, and have the Improved Trip feat, that I can make an immediate melee attack on him.  But it doesn't have to; that information is contained in the description of the feat.The Trip text doesn't state that if I make a successful hit with a weapon, I deal the stated damage.  But it doesn't have to; that information is contained in the description of weapons.2. Was the successful hit made with a flaming weapon?  If so, the flaming weapon deals +1d6 extra fire damage.  Nothing in the Trip text denies this.----The resolution of the two questions is identical.  If the successful hit was made with a weapon that is also a flaming weapon, the answers to the questions "Does the weapon deal the stated damage?" and "Does the flaming weapon deal +1d6 extra fire damage?" must also be identical.-Hyp.</blockquote>
