Vertigo... what does it do?

[Rudedawg14]

Does a weapon with plus to vertigo improve the chances of trip working on a mob?

The wording seems a little off in the description.

Yes, vertigo will add its bonus onto your DC to trip someone.

The dc for trip is 10+ your str mod + enhancment bonus + vertigo bonus, when u use it against a mob he now rolls a 20 + whatever his str or dex mod ( whichever is higher )+ whatever other misc boni he might have , if the result is less than your total DC , he falls down, if its higher, he saves and stays standing.

Please not i said str or dex MOD, so a 30 str = +10.
