Question
OK guys,
I have a question that I need your advice on. I am thinking that since Todd gave me extra strength, I might run at the count and tackle him, possibly causing one of the wooden stakes to pierce his heart. Do you see any possible issues with this. Would this be a grapple? I also suppose it would give the count an attack of opportunity right?

I do belive it would give him an attack of opportunity and it could very well be the unexpected action that carries the combat for us....Geoffrey of course is a little more grounded...it appears that the nephew may be on his last legs and H'roosh is doing a great job distracting the count....perhaps if we elminate the nephew first we can then gangbang the count...then you have another charcter who has great success with the line "fortune favors the bold" and that is my personal mind set today..it is ballsy unexpected and a absoulty wonderful idea...and if radoon fails lol Geoffrey can always resurrect him

The attack you want is not grapple, but trip. Grapple would not knock him down. Either Trip or Grapple will give him an attack of opportunity unless you have a weapon that you can trip with such as a lasso...Maybe you should read your own character sheet.
Trip
You can try to trip an opponent as an unarmed melee attack. You can only trip an opponent who is one size category larger than you, the same size, or smaller.
Making a Trip Attack
Make an unarmed melee touch attack against your target. This provokes an attack of opportunity from your target as normal for unarmed attacks.
If your attack succeeds, make a Strength check opposed by the defender’s Dexterity or Strength check (whichever ability score has the higher modifier). A combatant gets a +4 bonus for every size category he is larger than Medium or a -4 penalty for every size category he is smaller than Medium. The defender gets a +4 bonus on his check if he has more than two legs or is otherwise more stable than a normal humanoid. If you win, you trip the defender. If you lose, the defender may immediately react and make a Strength check opposed by your Dexterity or Strength check to try to trip you.
Avoiding Attacks of Opportunity
If you have the Improved Trip feat, or if you are tripping with a weapon (see below), you don’t provoke an attack of opportunity for making a trip attack.
Being Tripped (Prone)
A tripped character is prone. Standing up is a move action.
Tripping a Mounted Opponent
You may make a trip attack against a mounted opponent. The defender may make a Ride check in place of his Dexterity or Strength check. If you succeed, you pull the rider from his mount.
Tripping with a Weapon
Some weapons can be used to make trip attacks. In this case, you make a melee touch attack with the weapon instead of an unarmed melee touch attack, and you don’t provoke an attack of opportunity.
If you are tripped during your own trip attempt, you can drop the weapon to avoid being tripped.

My only point is to caution Radoon about physical contact with the Count. I can't specifically remember anything bad that happens to folks who touch vampires, but physically touching powerful undead can make some pretty bad stuff happen to the one who does it! (Like, um, energy drain immediately comes to mind, yeah, and now that I think about it, touching a vampire under the old rules used to drain 2 levels, I think -- not sure how that's handled in 3.5 though.) (But more power to ya, anyway!)

trip attack
Scott,
I knew the lasso would come in handy! Would this still be an unarmed melee attack or a rope use proficiency? Also, I guess it will take me a round to get my rope out and move into position so that is what Radoon would do this round.

That stuff happens when the vampire touches you (if it happens at all) - he has to make a touch attack.
