Message: <blockquote data-quote="Silver Griffon" data-source="post: 686861" data-attributes="member: 9425">I see Great Throw in the new feats table in OA, but I can't find the feat. Is it out of alphabetical order or have I found an error in my printing of the book?Anyway, I think you miss my point. I am proposing a house rule whereby all trip attacks deal damage. This would not require a feat, it would be a change to the description of the consequences of a successful trip maneuver. The Mighty Trip feat I present above is a feat to allow Str mod to be added to that damage.The idea is that being slammed into the ground by a martial throw or a trip with a weapon hurts. Anyone who is not injured by a trip attack has made a successful Jump or Tumble check. What I am asking here is whether or not this added bit of realism is too much for the abstract nature of D&D combat. I don't believe that it is, as I have made it possible to avoid the damage altogether with a skill check using a pre-existing game mechanic (falling).Also, I think that Improved Trip is clearly representative of a quick follow-up attack, and not the damage from striking the ground. It is more closely akin to an AoO in its nature.</blockquote>
