This might be interpreted to involve two actions (bluff attempt, dropping to prone), so it is a DM call.If I were the DM, I would allow this as a use of bluff (opposed by a roll where the defender uses the better of his spot or sense motive skills). I would allow them to drop as a free action outside of combat as a response to the blow (but only as a response to the blow ... not whenever they felt like it).Because the PC is trying to act like he was felled, I would allow the cleave off of the attack.</blockquote>
