Obviously there would be a list of which abilities you can do this with and which you cannot(No gaining spells or magic abilities).But this would fix the.."But Im a wizard and we cant take the trip attack ability." Use an action point if you feel that your character would like to try to trip the enemy. If you feel its too big a cost, then I guess your character really didnt want to trip them.</blockquote>
