Trip is a combat maneuver that allows an attacker to trip an opponent using a quarterstaff, runestaff, or two-handed polearm. On slight successes, the target will be knocked off balance (a roundtime penalty). On more substantial successes, the target will be knocked down with roundtime. All successful results can inflict minor critical damage to the legs and/or trigger weapon flares.

Characters need at least 20 ranks of Two-Handed Weapons or Polearm Weapons beyond the CMAN Trip itself to use it effectively.
