Question.  If I use Knockback + Shock Trooper + Improved Trip, do I still get the attack with a successful trip even if the target is outside my reach?

I think you do get to go bowling, yes.

Excellent...  :plotting

I think I just misread that. What are you trying to do?

Basically, the question is this.  Take a Goliath with Knockback, Shock Trooper, and Improved Trip.   

1) G attacks and bull-rushes Target A with Knockback. 
2) The bull rush knocks TA into the same square as TB; the Goliath gets a trip attack on both of them for free with Shock Trooper. 
3) If the trips are successful, Improved Trip says he gets another attack on both of them.

The question is, if step 2 involved a bull rush far enough that TA and TB are no longer within G's reach (because with Knockback you don't have to follow along), does he still get the extra attack in step 3?

Oh. No he doesn't. I got confused because I know Shock Trooper can trip things but misread what you were expecting to happen.

Hmm... OK.  I figured that was the way it would work out.  Well, I don't think I'm going to change my build much, then.  Still have to do items.

I'm withdrawing from this recruitment. The DM is too passive-aggressive and unreasonably defensive for my taste.

Risada?

I suppose there's no big hurry seeing as there is still no game forum up.

Background needs more fleshing out but that's the general idea.

And don't worry Tilt. I won't cry and call you a bad person if he dies.

That's cute. I see you changed your mind about "Not WoW Tanks" after all. It's nice to see you started to like subpar concepts.

Well that's one party problem settled.

Now we just need a game forum. Should I PM Prime32 about it?

A) You say Rogue is good. (not a question).
B) What is your sentiment on the Darkstalker Feat?
C) Tome of Magic?
D) Collar of Umbral Metemorphasis? (can't afford at lv8, but for future reference)
E) Is HiPS + Darkstalker to OP for this? (If you have to ask, then you already know, but still rather ask than assume.)
F) Got room for one more?

Because I'd be interested in possibly joining with either (1) a Darkstalker rogue / swashbuckler; (2) as #1, but with tumble to flank rather than Darkstalker, just don't like having to have someone else in place to bring the pain; (3) A Truenamer.

Thoughts? Opinions? Already to many players?

I always expect my characters to die, hell the devs say that's part of the point in the Rules Compendium, the belief that you MUST survive a whole campaign w/o making a new character, or being rezzed a lot, is, well, should I really go down the list?

I'm not sure what you are getting at with the last part. I think 6 is plenty, though if someone drops out I'll remember you. The other questions don't matter just yet.

If a character dies, you move on. Not claim that the death was caused by .............. then whine about it.
That's what certain other threads and arguments are being caused by / being turned into.
[/mini-rant]

Anywho, do please PM me if there is an opening. I like the rogue for damage and unconventional source of stat conditions via ambush feats, and I actually like Truenamers too. They're weird and unique, but most people just roll eyes at them. But I don't usually end up getting to play these for one reason or another.
Honestly leaning more toward TN if I do get to play and it's allowed.
