From D&D Wiki

• 1.1.1 Avoiding Attacks of Opportunity
• 1.2 Being Tripped (Prone)
• 1.3 Tripping a Mounted Opponent
• 1.4 Tripping with a Weapon

You can try to trip an opponent as an unarmed melee attack . You can only trip an opponent who is one size category larger than you, the same size, or smaller.

Making a Trip Attack

Make an unarmed melee touch attack against your target. This provokes an attack of opportunity from your target as normal for unarmed attacks.

If your attack succeeds, make a Strength check opposed by the defender’s Dexterity or Strength check (whichever ability score has the higher modifier). A combatant gets a +4 bonus for every size category he is larger than Medium or a –4 penalty for every size category he is smaller than Medium. The defender gets a +4 bonus on his check if he has more than two legs or is otherwise more stable than a normal humanoid . If you win, you trip the defender. If you lose, the defender may immediately react and make a Strength check opposed by your Dexterity or Strength check to try to trip you.

Avoiding Attacks of Opportunity

If you have the Improved Trip feat , or if you are tripping with a weapon (see below), you don’t provoke an attack of opportunity for making a trip attack.

Being Tripped ( Prone )

A tripped character is prone . Standing up is a move action .

Tripping a Mounted Opponent

You may make a trip attack against a mounted opponent. The defender may make a Ride check in place of his Dexterity or Strength check . If you succeed, you pull the rider from his mount.

Tripping with a Weapon

Some weapons can be used to make trip attacks. In this case, you make a melee touch attack with the weapon instead of an unarmed melee touch attack , and you don’t provoke an attack of opportunity .

If you are tripped during your own trip attempt, you can drop the weapon to avoid being tripped.

Honored at last: Honor Flight Tallahassee pays tribute to veterans through special trip

Veterans who survived the Korean and Vietnam Wars often felt two things — forgotten and scorned.

But Saturday night, decades after their return, Korea veterans' feeling that they had served in the shadows and Vietnam veterans' recollections of shame melted away as dozens of them stepped off a plane in Tallahassee to be remembered and honored in a way they'll never forget.

Nearly 300 people lined the opening of a hangar at the Tallahassee Airport to welcome home 76 veterans who embarked on Honor Flight Tallahassee's 10th annual flight to Washington, D.C. The local branch of the nationwide organization has made it its mission to bring every veteran to see the monuments that were built as a tribute to them and their fallen peers.

"That was great!" Wayne Langston, a Vietnam War veteran who served in the Air Force, said with the brightest smile after completing the 17-hour trip.

The long, rainy, whirlwind of a day was filled with smiles, tears and salutes, emphasizing that even 76 different men and women with 76 different stories share one thing — a pride and love for their country that only those who served would understand.  

'I'm just amazed'

All travelers had to report to the standalone hangar at 5 a.m., but many veterans fueled by excitement arrived well before then.

Countdowns — much like the ones they looked to while fighting in Vietnam — were kept until the big day. And the first impression did not disappoint.

"I'm just amazed by what they've done here," Dave Stewart, a Vietnam War veteran, said over breakfast.

An hour later, veterans queued up and boarded the plane, which buzzed with palpable anticipation as veterans and guardians chatted away about their excitement for the trip.

Roughly two hours later, the private flight landed, and veterans were greeted by their first surprise of the day. Students from the Naval Academy and other volunteers lined the airport gate exit, equipped with signs, flags and encouraging words as veterans filed out one by one.

The kind gesture invoked tears for some, marking the first of many that would be shed throughout the day.

First stop: World War II Memorial

For Joseph Williams, the only World War II veteran on the trip, Saturday was a day of firsts.

Before the trip, the 104-year-old had never seen the memorial dedicated to the war he fought in nor flown in a plane.

Williams served in the Philippines in the Navy from 1944 to 1946 after being drafted from Florida. He said he "would've rather stayed home."

The memorial, which he was most excited to see, stirred up old memories, specifically of the times he saw Japanese pilots purposefully crash their planes.

"I thought this would be a very good opportunity to see our pretty country and see things I've never seen before," he said.

Second stop: Korean War, Vietnam War and Lincoln Memorials

The second stop of the trip was the most anticipated, as the majority of the men and women served in these wars and hoped to find names of lost loved ones etched in the walls of the Korean and Vietnam War Memorials.

"That's amazing," Sal Martocci, an 88-year-old Korean War veteran who served in the Navy, said as he stared at the statues of soldiers at the Korean War memorial. "It's almost eerie."

For decades after he served in the Army in Vietnam, Lee Skornia, 78, never spoke a word of his time in the war.

He was tortured for years by night terrors that replayed memories of exploding landmines and deadly enemy fire. But as he stood in front of the wall that bore the names of his fallen peers, he reflected on just how lucky he was and how he has God to thank.

Skornia remembers sitting on top of an armored personnel carrier with six other soldiers when it blew up.

"Just before the whole incident occurred, I heard a message," Skornia said. "All of a sudden this voice said. 'Get ready.'"

Skornia knew it was a miracle from God he survived.

And as further proof, he said the blast that threw him 30 feet away and killed several others left the Bible that his mother gave him completely unharmed.

Third stop: Iwo Jima, the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial

Mel Topicz, Lynette Haber and Ritaann Schultz all served in the Navy during the Vietnam era, and together they spent the day representing women who served in the war who went even more unrecognized for their service than the men.

The three shared their stories in the drizzling rain next to Iwo Jima, the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial.

"It's great because we can represent other female veterans," Topicz said. "It doesn't really matter what branch of service, we all served."

Because women weren't allowed to serve on the front lines beyond being a nurse, Topicz and Haber both took care of enlisted records and Schultz was an aviation boatswains mate handler, which was a very dangerous job directing aircrafts as they launched and landed.

Haber said the trip was a delight not only because of the people thanking them for their service, but because other tourists visiting the memorials are "obviously benefits of veterans."

"I was pretty much choking back tears at the Vietnamese memorial when an Asian gentleman said, 'thank you,'" Haber said. "And I said, 'I bet your story is tougher than mine.'"

Fourth stop: Arlington National Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

A deafening silence hung in the air at the Arlington National Cemetery.

Looking over a sea of headstones, veterans quietly paid their respects to all the men and women who went before them.

Just before 4 p.m., veterans and their guardians lined up around the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, preparing to watch the changing of the guard, a ceremony that occurs every 30 minutes.

The sentinels, those selected to guard the tomb, scuffed their heels against the ground as they paced — a silent acknowledgement for the veterans watching them.

Fifth stop: Air Force Memorial

Veterans unloaded from the bus one last time to crane their necks up at the sky to see the three spires of the Air Force Memorial tower over them.

A sense of accomplishment and joy washed over the veterans who made it out to the final stop.

"It's been fantastic and a real reward," Jim Rector, a 76-year-old Vietnam War veteran who served in the Air Force, said of the trip as he stood under the looming spires. "I have never had so many thank you's and welcome home's than I have this whole time."

The first thing Rector said he did when he arrived back in California from the war was ditch his uniform and find some "civies," or civilian clothes, to hide the fact he fought.

The camaraderie and "being with fellow brothers and sisters" who served was an incomparable experience, he said.

'Welcome home'

Although they were tired and ready to start the trip home, the exhaustion couldn't mask the joyful glow each veteran shared.

Fulfillment and gratitude were written on every one of their faces.

The plane hummed as veterans and guardians softly shared stories about their experience from the day. But about halfway through the return flight, everyone was interrupted: "Mail call, mail call, mail call," Mac Kemp, one of the trip organizers, said over the flight intercom.

Just like in the military, Kemp called out each veteran's name and passed out large envelopes stuffed to the brim with letters from friends, family and community members — the first surprise of the trip back home.

Some received old photographs from their time in the war, one even received a letter his wife wrote to him in the 1960s.

Schultz said she cried when see realized the handwriting of one of the letters she was reading was her son's.

"My son doesn't do that kind of stuff," Schultz said. "He's 33, he hasn't written me a letter I don't think since he was a child."

And the thoughtful surprises didn't end there.

Realizing that most of the veterans on the trip never saw any parades or praise when they arrived home, Honor Flight coordinators spared nothing on the fanfare that awaited the veterans.

Family members, friends and community packed the hangar waiting to embrace their veterans with open arms, proving a welcome home is better late than never.

Pope visits Venice to speak to the artists and inmates behind the Biennale's must-see prison show

VENICE, Italy — Venice has always been a place of contrasts, of breathtaking beauty and devastating fragility, where history, religion, art and nature have collided over the centuries to produce an otherworldly gem of a city. But even for a place that prides itself on its culture of unusual encounters, Pope Francis’ visit Sunday stood out.

Francis traveled to the lagoon city to visit the Holy See’s pavilion at the Biennale contemporary art show and meet with the people who created it. But because the Vatican decided to mount its exhibit in Venice’s women’s prison, and invited inmates to collaborate with the artists , the whole project assumed a far more complex meaning, touching on Francis’ belief in the power of art to uplift and unite, and of the need to give hope and solidarity to society’s most marginalized.

Francis hit on both messages during his visit, which began in the courtyard of the Giudecca prison where he met with the women inmates one by one. As some of them wept, Francis urged them to use their time in prison as a chance for “moral and material rebirth.”

“Paradoxically, a stay in prison can mark the beginning of something new, through the rediscovery of the unsuspected beauty in us and in others, as symbolized by the artistic event you are hosting and the project to which you actively contribute,” Francis said.

Francis then met with Biennale artists in the prison chapel, decorated with an installation by Brazilian visual artist Sonia Gomes of objects dangling from the ceiling, meant to draw the viewer’s gaze upward. He urged the artists to embrace the Biennale’s theme this year “Strangers Everywhere,” to show solidarity with all those on the margins.

The Vatican exhibit has turned the Giudecca prison, a former convent for reformed prostitutes, into one of the must-see attractions of this year’s Biennale, even though to see it visitors must reserve in advance and go through a security check. It has become an unusual art world darling that greets visitors at the entrance with Maurizio Cattelan’s wall mural of two giant filthy feet , a work that recalls Caravaggio’s dirty feet or the feet that Francis washes each year in a Holy Thursday ritual that he routinely performs on prisoners.

The exhibit also includes a short film starring the inmates and Zoe Saldana, and prints in the prison coffee shop by onetime Catholic nun and American social activist Corita Kent.

Francis’ dizzying morning visit, which ended with Mass in St. Mark’s Square, represented an increasingly rare outing for the 87-year-old pontiff, who has been hobbled by health and mobility problems that have ruled out any foreign trips so far this year.

And Venice, with its 121 islands and 436 bridges, isn’t an easy place to negotiate. But Francis pulled it off, arriving by helicopter from Rome, crossing the Giudecca Canal in a water taxi and then arriving in St. Mark’s Square in a mini popemobile that traversed the Grand Canal via a pontoon bridge erected for the occasion.

During an encounter with young people at the iconic Santa Maria della Salute basilica, Francis acknowledged the miracle that is Venice, admiring its “enchanting beaty” and tradition as a place of East-West encounter, but warning that it is increasingly vulnerable to climate change and depopulation.

“Venice is at one with the waters upon which it sits,” Francis said. “Without the care and safeguarding of this natural environment, it might even cease to exist.”

Venice, sinking under rising sea levels and weighed down by the impact of overtourism, is in the opening days of an experiment to try to limit the sort of day trips that Francis undertook Sunday.

Venetian authorities last week launched a pilot program to charge day-trippers 5 euros ($5.35) apiece on peak travel days. The aim is to encourage them to stay longer or come at off-peak times, to cut down on crowds and make the city more livable for its dwindling number of residents.

For Venice’s Catholic patriarch, Archbishop Francesco Moraglia, the new tax program is a worthwhile experiment, a potential necessary evil to try to preserve Venice as a livable city for visitors and residents alike.

Moraglia said Francis’ visit — the first by a pope to the Biennale — was a welcome boost, especially for the women of the Giudecca prison who participated in the exhibit as tour guides and as protagonists in some of the artworks.

He acknowledged that Venice over the centuries has had a long, complicated, love-hate relationship with the papacy, despite its central importance to Christianity.

The relics of St. Mark — the top aide to St. Peter, the first pope — are held here in the basilica, which is one of the most important and spectacular in all of Christendom. Several popes have hailed from Venice — in the past century alone three pontiffs were elected after being Venice patriarchs. And Venice hosted the last conclave held outside the Vatican: the 1799-1800 vote that elected Pope Paul VII.

But for centuries before that, relations between the independent Venetian Republic and the Papal States were anything but cordial as the two sides dueled over control of the church. Popes in Rome issued interdicts against Venice that essentially excommunicated the entire territory. Venice flexed its muscles back by expelling entire religious orders, including Francis’ own Jesuits.

“It’s a history of contrasts because they were two competitors for so many centuries,” said Giovanni Maria Vian, a church historian and retired editor of the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano whose family hails from Venice. “The papacy wanted to control everything, and Venice jealously guarded its independence.”

Moraglia said that troubled history is long past and that Venice was welcoming Francis with open arms and gratitude, in keeping with its history as a bridge between cultures.

“The history of Venice, the DNA of Venice — beyond the language of beauty and culture that unifies — there’s this historic character that says that Venice has always been a place of encounter,” he said.

Francis said as much as he closed out Mass in St. Mark’s before an estimated 10,500 people.

“Venice, which has always been a place of encounter and cultural exchange, is called to be a sign of beauty available to all,” Francis said. “Starting with the least, a sign of fraternity and care for our common home.”
