5. Tripping and knocking down has little to no impact.
Now this might be due to my lacking knowledge in the ruleset, but when I knockdown enemies there seems to be little effect. Said hostile holligan proceeds to jump back up and, in the same turn pummel me without any noticeable difference to his previous fully upright past self.
I am sure I will think of more as time goes on. Cheers and best of luck Devs!
It's the ruleset. In 5e, being knocked down only causes melee attacks to have advantage against you and for ranged attacks to have disadvantage. And standing up from prone costs half your total movement unless you have the Mobile feat, and unlike other editions and PF, standing up doesn't provoke an AoO.
So yes tripping is pretty useless as far as actions go, but it's not Larian's fault.
