[QUOTE="rbingham2000, post: 1647851, member: 12947"] This is the way I understand how the "cleave" thing works: [list=1] [*]Make an attack and drop opponent with one blow. Cleave time. [*]Next attack is on a second adjacent foe. If you just have Cleave, that's as far as you go, regardless of whether or not you drop the second foe with one blow. [*]Great Cleave allows you to attack another foe if you drop the second foe with one blow. And if you drop THAT foe in one blow, you get to attack another foe. And so on until you run out of adjacent bad guys or your last attack fails to drop someone. [/list] All of these attacks are made with one weapon, for the reason given below. The picture I get of these feats in action is the scene of a samurai warrior slicing through a half-dozen foes with one stroke of his razor-sharp katana blade, or big bad Sauron blowing through a half-dozen human and elven warriors with each swing of his big bad mace in the first part of the FOTR movie. With that said, the two Cleave feats make for a good way to clean house on low-level mooks (goblins, orcs, bandits, whatever) as you get higher in level. [/QUOTE]
