Question about Knockdown

[DragonChyld]

The feat Knockdown says that you make an attack roll at a -4 penalty. If you hit your opponent makes a Discipline check against your Attack roll. Here is the tricky part. It says that you get a +4 bonus for every size catagory larger you are than you opponent. Do Large Characters IE. Driders/Trolls/Half Ogres take this into account.

If that is so... and they then take Improved Knockdown does thier Effective Size catagory equal Huge? giving them a +8 to the attack roll against medium sized cratures?

Id like to know the answer to this question for druids/shifters when in dragon form which is already huge.

Only way to find out for sure is to test, though the majority of bioware forum posts I've seen take for granted that the dragon's kd works better than others, from which one might infer that size differences are calculated correctly by the engine.

BW messed with IKD in dragon form.. I'm not too savvy on the details but I do know that the general Shifty community (ala' Zelle and co) were generally disappointed.

RDD now has that wing buffet too, which is a area effect knockdown? thats pretty cool =)

it will give +8 on knockdown check but not on attack roll, you would still have the same or less ab....

OHHH so it just adds +8 to their Discipline check DC? Is there anyway to verify this?
