Trip/Stunning blow etc effectiveness

[Magikan]

Hi guys,

I just wanted to ask for advice on how you can maximise the effectiveness of feats like Trip, Stunning blow, Sunder etc?

Is the only way via STR and fighter/dwarf enhancements? or am I missing something?

Cheers

You can get weapons that have Vertigo or Shatter on them.

I don't think there are weapon enchantments for Stunning Blow, though.

Dragonlily is going to take the fighter Stunning Blow and Trip enhancements, though. So a +4 for the DC on those. The only other recourse you have is a high strength modifier.

Stunning blow is the "weighted" mechanic. And you can get up to +10. This also gives you a % chance per hit to land a stunning blow without using the feat.

Strength + enhancements + item.

Dwarven Fighter w/30 str. and a weighted +10 weapon

10 + 6 + 10 = DC 26

Any other Fighter w/30 str. and a weighted +10 weapon

10 + 3 + 10 = DC 23

i saw a pair of +3 shocking burst handwraps of weighted (2%) last night .. those'll make some monk very happy :D

Sirocco blade has trip/teleport on it - level 8 weapon. I keep passing it down through my ladies - currently Kerrowy has it.

The changed it though to work like it was supposed to. Before it was save vs. blind per hit, now it's per crit. :rock: Sometimes "working as intended" sucks.

The trip has always been per crit though and that stayed the same.

Alydyn has a 22 Str, Improved Trip, and Fighter Trip IV. I trip everything about 75% of the time. Spiders, scorpions, wolves, and devils are much less of course.

Thanks for all the info.

with his vertigo-8 weapon Anzan has a 31 trip currently and hes still only level 10 with a lot of STR and enhancements to go. Remember at least for trip the save changes based on sizes larger or smaller than you, and for how many legs it has so actually tripping a Scorrow is pretty hard unless your specced for it. My goal is to get Anzans trip past 40 and then take him into the PvP pits :sniffgun:

remember that the enemy resist stunning blow with fortitude and i think stunning blow has a 10 start DC.. i will test in pvp pit and post resuslts later
