Putting together a Soulbolt for a pbp on the forums, and had a fun thought: Take the Weapon Special (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/classes/soulknife) Blade Skill to take the Toppling Strike line of Blade Skills and knock rows of enemies down from range. Should work RIA and RAW, correct?

FUN BONUS THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Find the Mark (http://paizo.com/store/games/roleplayingGames/p/pathfinderRPG/dreamscarredPress/v5748btpy8lt4) gives us Mixed Combat. "Benefit: You can sheathe your weapons as free actions that do not provoke attacks of opportunity..."

Every weapon becomes a Gnomish Quickrazor. Factotums eat your heart out.

1) Yes, you can put the trip property on ammunition and then get Toppling Strike.

2) Yes you can draw and sheathe as a free action, though without Iaijutsu Focus ported in from 3.0 it doesn't mean much.

EDIT: note that you don't need Mixed Combat to free-action-sheathe your mind blade. It dissipates the second you let go of it (unless you're throwing it), so once you get Quick Draw you can simply release and reform it as many times per round as you want, getting IF damage for every attack in your iteration.

Oh, I wasn't planning on using Quick Draw on a Soulknife. I was thinking something like Barbarian with a Greatsword drawing and sheathing it between each stroke :D

Just wanted to check and make sure there wasn't a rule somewhere that said you can't put the trip property on a ranged weapon. Thanks!

I imagine your bolt with this property would function like Trip Arrows (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/weapons/weapon-descriptions/ammunition/ammunition-bow-arrow-trip) from Elves of Golarion.

♥ that book. Magic food is the best idea ever. Dwarves of Golarion is pretty good too.
