Made You All Meet In A Tavern; also writes novels
Cleave in my retroclone You All Meet In A Tavern is automatic for fighters; if they have left-over damage after killing an enemy, it goes to someone else, no need to roll. (The GM decides where it goes, but I suggested the strongest remaining enemy of the same type.)One simple idea off the top of my head:
When you use Cleave, instead of making an additional attack roll against the second target, just use the result of the attack roll against the original target.
This obviously wouldn't work for games where positioning is everything like 4e, but that's not my preferred type of combat anyway.
