Shattered Kingdoms

While in a new area and fighting treants, i have been consistantly being tripped while I am in the second row. Was there some sort of trip change that went into effect or is it a feature inherent of the treant race?

Maybe they have really long branches.

Er treants have reach, you can always trip something if you can reach it (if they're not flying).

I dont remember that being the case when I rolled a fer mercs and used reach weapons, otherwise being second row wouldnt really matter vs a merc.

right.. because everyone can melee someone perfectly on one foot while using the other to reach around that first person to someone standing behind them and successfully trip them.

I'm pretty sure there are more ways to trip someone then sticking your leg behind them and pushing them smurf
I always imagined a second row trip as using the weapon to offbalance and trip them mid-fight, it wouldn't be that difficult with practice.

And yes, it sounds like treants have reach

Agreed, this was discussed a long time ago.

You've been able to trip second row for at least 5 years if you were wielding a reaching weapon.

And yes, treants can reach.

It actually says right in the help file of trip that it can be used in combination with reach.

No bug. This will now be locked.
