[QUOTE="Camarath, post: 1048111, member: 11987"] In this case being tripped changes you from normal standing to prone this prevents your normal movement because of the properties of being prone thus ending your action. Unless an AoO makes it so that it is impossible to complete your action you may complete it. If there is no distinction in the rules, I do not see how you can interpret the rules using such a distinction. Not being pone is what the Stand Up action accomplishes not granting you a state of standing. Standing is the normal state of not being prone it is not covered in the rule because it is the base state. A prone opponent may still be trippable but would suffer no addition penalties if tripped since they are already prone. Since a character does not stop being prone untill the end of the action that ends that condition they would still be prone wile preforming that action. How does triping make the action of rising from prone impossible since you can still rise from prone wile prone and you would be prone wile preforming the action (i.e. during the attack) anyway. Many thing about the D&D combat system are unrealistic. It is an abstract representation altered for playability and game balance. [/QUOTE]
