Questions on Knockdown Feat & Whirlwind chain

Arcanus

First Post
How would Whirlwind Attack & Improved Shield Bash Work?

Could you do this?
Would you want to?

What about using Knockdown with Whirlwind Attack?
Can you do this like you can with Cleave & Great Cleave?
Or what about just trying to use the risky Improved Trip?

I have the whirlwind feat chain and when I level up I will get 2 feats. I am looking for something besides Weap.Focus & Spec.
Leaning towards Pwr Attack & Cleave. Maybe Ambidex & 2W Fight.

Yes, yes, and Yes. I don't know about the shield bash, you probably can, not sure though. You can also use disarm with WWA if you want.
 

Thanks.

With Imp. Shield Bash you bash your enemy and he is also affected as if you bull rushed back 5ft. (no farther than 5 and you can't move w/him.) But if you can use it and you shield bash him back 5ft, this is where it can get cool you also try and do this to the other enemies that are within 5ft of you and bash them back 5ft. Then after all your Whirlwind attacks are done move back 5ft away from them. This makes your opponents spend movement to within attackin distance to you again, preventing multiple attacks from them, because they make move actions then their standard actions.


I think this is right any help would be appreciated
 


The feat from Psi handbook is called stand still.

If in the above mentioned attack routine (by me) the opponents tried to close the distance to me from the shield bashing back 5ft I gave them are they triggering AoO's by moving from 10ft to 5ft to me?
If they are I need Combat Reflexes. Hopefully I could smack them all again

Depends on if them move or take a 5' step. 5' steps never draw an AOO, but if they move through, a Charge or the like, then they suffer an AOO for moving through the space.
