Hello, I have a really nice little Shield and Sword leap attacker


So here is the question; I have the following feat
Shield Charge
Shield Slam
Two Weapon Pounce
and Leap Attack.

So performing a TWP/LA into a shield slam or charge, in what order would I perform an attack? Would I be able to trip the follow up on the other hand attack after thy are prone?

Thank you

P.S. Yes I posted this in combat but no one seems to want to respond, I think it maybe just that it is a little too feat oriented, so I posted it here.

Seems subtle, but here's my take:

First, it looks to me like Shield Slam is a special action of its own. You can perform it as a charge, but I'd say they mean it to be a special "shield slam" charge. Because clearly this is not something you can do with an ordinary attack, since if you don't charge it takes a full round action. So I'm going to say that you can't combine a shield slam with the other feats. But I'm not sure.

But it should definitely work fine with Shield Charge. You get to make the attacks in whichever order you like, so you should be able to
- Leap Attack
- hit with your shield and make a free trip
- hit your prone opponent with your sword
Is that kind of what you're after?
