If you are prone, and you stand up next to someone with a spiked chain, you provoke an attack of opportunity, but can they use that attack of opportunity to trip you?  I don't believe so, because attacks of opportunity interrupt the action.  You're not standing when the AoO goes off; you're still on the ground, so you can't be tripped.2. Say you're fighting a trip-happy foe.  Now, if you're standing, you can ready an action to sunder their weapon when they attack you, which is great against whips.  But if you're already on the ground, can you ready an action to sunder their weapon as they take their AoO against you as you stand?  I don't think it works by the rules, but I'd allow it in my game probably.3. If someone has a reach weapon that can trip, and you charge them, normally they'd get to try to trip you as an attack of opportunity.  But could you jump before you enter their threatened range, making an aerial attack, thus avoiding a trip?  Or would a 'trip' just cause you to fall out of the air somehow?4. Can you use whirlwind attack and improved trip to trip everyone around you, then hit them all while they're down?5. What happens when you trip a flying creature?  Some things, like beholders and ghosts, obviously can't be tripped, but what about things with wings?  If you 'trip' a dire bat, do you just mess up it's flight pattern and cause it to fall?Thanks in advance.</blockquote>
