	*A successful Knockdown disrupts spellcasting.
	*Knockdown requires a successful [[melee touch attack]] to be made.
	*Knockdown has a two-round cooldown after each attempt.
	*The check for the knockdown attempt is not modified by spells such as [[Enlarge Person]] and [[Reduce Person]] because these have no effect on the size modifier.
	*It is most effective against a target that has a low dexterity and strength - commonly [[wizard]]s and [[sorcerer]]s, although [[bard]] and [[cleric]] type classes may not have a great deal of those either. However, most spell casters have defensive spells that protect against this feat.
	*As a note, this obviously is most useful in a party situation, because if there are allies attacking the target, they gain a bonuses to attack them for one round, and the target cannot defend itself (it loses, for instance, [[combat expertise]] bonuses).
	*Knockdown can be blocked by [[mirror image]], <strike>though a knockdown attempt is an automatic hit and will remove one image per attempt.</strike>
	*Knockdown attempts can be parried.
	*The spells [[foundation of stone]] and [[storm avatar]] confer immunity to knockdown.
