Since I didn't see anything in the rules that says you cannot use a trip attack (at least that is what I thought) with whirlwind attack. I do know that you wouldn't get any of the "bonus" attacks granted from the improved trip (based on whirlwind attack feat description). I just wanted to check with everyone and see what they thought... Thanks

However, some of the text leads me to think that is incorrect. A trip attempt is made as part of an attack action. As whirlwind attack is a full attack action, made up of various attack actions. So, I don't see why tripping can't be part of any of those attacks, either. I wold also allow the player to get his +4 from Improved Trip. Again, nothing that says that shouldn't be the case.

That and thinking about all of my big bad guys layed out prone... I didn't have a problem with the idea.. and from what I have seen this is ok as long as they don't get the followup attack (bonus attack) from the improved trip. :)
