Throwing with a tripping weapon

[Rainbownaga]

Setting sun maneuvers let you make a trip attempt to throw targets, and the FAQ says that you can add your bonus from improved trip to this.

The question is, can you use a weapon to trip an enemy for a bigger bonus (or with a whip or spiked chain to do so at range with reach). The FAQ's (official and otherwise) don't seem to answer this question.

The complicating factor is that most of these are listed as having a range of touch, but the tornado throw has a range of melee attack.

So can you use a spiked chain to throw with
a. Only this maneuver
b. All maneuvers
c. No maneuvers

I belive the ones that say touch require you to touch the person. However the tornado throw i would let any weapon use it... including a whip or a chain.

That's not "at range". Those are reach weapons, which means you need to hold onto them. Bolas allow actual ranged trips.

Thanks for the help.


And yes, i meant "With reach" rather than range; I'll edit my post.
