Increasing trip chance

Jul 04, 2009 10:43:41 Hey guys, very simple question.

Have a level 9 Ranger/Beastmaster. Nothing overly min-maxed, but I'm picking up the Shock Trooper feat this level (Complete Warrior).

One of the tactical options is Domino Rush, which allows me to trip opponents when I bull rush them into one another's space.

I have a decent Str. bonus (+5), but wanted to ask 2 things:

1. Anyone know a quick-dip Prestige Class, Alternate Class Feature (anything, really) I can snag to give me the Improved Trip feat as a bonus without having to worry about Pre-req?

2. Anyone know any feats that give you a simple bonus to Trip (and/or other Strength related checks like bullrush).

Sources must be 3.5 wotc products.

Thanks all!

If you have a good cha the marshal's art of war minor aura adds your cha modifer to trip attempts (among other things)

Jul 04, 2009 14:37:48 If you'll take gear suggestions:

MIC has Armbands of Might for a passive +2 untyped bonus on all opposed Str checks

and Torc of the Titans for an activatable +5 (IIRC) 3/day.

and Steadfast Boots for a +4 passive to resist, in case you get counter-tripped.

Following the precident of Circlet of Persuasion (DMG), you could make an item that gives you a +3 competance bonus on Str checks for 4,500g. Would probably have an afinity to torso, waist, or glove slot. Deconstructing the cost appears to make it 1,500g per +1, so it might be reasonable to aquire a +4 on for 6,000g or a +5 one for 7,500g. Probably not advisable to allow custom items higher than a +5 check bonus though.
