Trip), and possibly another bonus if using a tripping weapon that provides one.If PC1 doesn't succeed at the trip attack, and PC1 used a tripping weapon, he can drop it, and the baddie doesn't get to try and trip back.  If he used an unarmed melee attack, however, the baddie gets a counter-trip attempt, even though PC1 has Improved Trip.If PC1 does succeed at the trip attack, the baddie falls prone, and PC1 gets another attack on the now prone baddie (who thus has a -4 to AC) immediately, as with a Cleave attack.On the baddie's turn, he can attempt to get up, which is a move action, and both PC1 and PC2 get AoOs on him for doing so.Is this all correct?And is there an official ruling on the PC1 using his AoO to trip the baddie again while he's trying to stand up?</blockquote>
