Normally standing up from Prone does NOT provoke. The requirement is printed is: Alertness, my DM ruled this didn't make any sense and made Combat Reflexes the prereq. Yours might not, but Alertness is still a good feat, and it leads to an even better one, Kick 'Em <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  ) He's a freaking Tripping MACHINE! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> And since you've got both Improved Trip, and Knockdown, it lets you make a choice. Think you have a good chance to hit them? Just do a normal hit, you'll do dmg and then KnockDown will activate. OR, do they have a really high AC that you are afriad you won't hit them? Do an Improved Trip, you just have to hit there TOUCH AC, then do the trip oppossed Str rolls <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> With the Half-Dragon STR, you win just about every-time. For the times you don't? Look into picking up the feat Prone-Attack <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Myself I picked up Improved Disarm, I'm going to build a PrC around Tripping and Disarming people <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Like others have said though, you don't HAVE to do EVERYTHING that the spiked chain *can* do. Just plan out a route and go with that one is all. It's fun <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
