tackle/quick take down

First Post
How do you do a flying tackle/Knockdown in d20? what mechanic can you use to do this? If a character charges and wants to do a flying tackle (think NFL here) how do you handle it?

I would make it an (unarmed) Trip attack. I would give a +2 circumstance bonus for the 'tackle' aspect if the character charges at least 10 feet in a straight line and ends up prone next to the 'victim'.
 

Yep, what they said. Attacker's choice of trip or grapple, with charge bonuses.

I can see the use of a Defensive Tackle feat that allows you to "set" a grapple or trip against a charging opponent for +4 on your Strength check.
 

Charge
Improved Trip (with a +2 to the touch attack roll)
Use the attack from Imp Trip to start a Grapple

Fear the Monk :]
