9th level swordsage/sneak attack tripper equipment

[kpumphre]

Hi I'm playing 8th level sword sage/1 fighter

So far the only item I found is strong arm bracers so I can use sized weapons. I am TWF, and have tumble maxed out at 12 ranks.

I could use some advice for other equipment 36k gold

Honestly, + sized gear and tripping basically screams spiked chain. Problematic since you can't TWF with it, but if retraining is allowed consider retraining Two Weapon Fighting into Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Spiked Chain. You get super huge reach and tripping within all of that area you threaten. It's super strong.

Otherwise look into using a Khopesh as your primary weapon. Another exotic weapon, but it's one of the few one handed weapons in the game that can make trip attacks.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm out of feats so not going EWP. I just want to know of stuff like one thing I found Amulet of team work gives +2 to damage when flanking

Steadfast boots.
Better if you've got a two hander, but still good at protecting you from counter-trips.

What about the kusari-gama? Isn't that a chain style weapon that you can go TWF with?

It's expensive at your level, but the Hunter's Bracers from Secrets of Xen'Drik give +1d6 Sneak Attack.
