How often does the trip mechanic come up in your game?

if you play the Temple of Elemental Evil game they happen all the time when fighting Bugbears.

Yep. They all have Improved Trip (or so I assume since I don't get AoO on them). I like that game because it lets me try out builds. I made a "trip monkey" character in it (spiked chain and all) and it worked just fine. But I've never gotten a chance to play one in a regular game.

Normally? Only occasionally.

In my Story Hour?

Hmm, let's see. A party member with a wolf animal companion, who likes to transform into a wolf occasionally. A party member who is a whip specialist. I think it comes up a little too much, now...

It seems my experience has been different. It has been in every 3.0/3.5 campaign I have been a part of and it has not been limited to specific builds.

There is a whole lotta trippin' goin' on in the games I am a part of. Trip away!
