By which I mean, I personally think that grappling is indeed a strength based thing, but trips should be dex based *by default*. (Definition... Trip: A maneuver causing someone to stumble or fall.) As it is you're not really tripping someone at all, you're attempting to knock them to the ground, which is an entirely different thing, and isn't really about causing them to lose their balance and fall so much as it's about SMASH PUNY THING TO GROUND. Hence my personal feel that trip should be dex based. Of course, once again we're talking completely about house rules... and not one I've actually ever made myself. Another completely acceptable 'house rule' to make to rectify this situation would be to no longer call the feat as written trip (as it's CLEARLY not a trip), and to instead call it something like "throw" or "knockdown" (well, that one's already taken...)</p></blockquote><p></p>
