Cleave after AoO?

[Kahuna Burger]

Yes. And if you COULD drop all of your enemies in one hit, then your'e probably fighting things that aren't too much of a challenge to you to begin with. One fireball could probably accomplish the same thing. But some people consider it unbalanced for the fighter to be able to do it too.

I feel mildly trolled for taking the trouble to explain this, but I guess someone has too... When a wizard or sorc can cast one fireball a round, every round of every combat, this argument will have relevance... and your DM will be pretty lame. The fighter has the advantage of not running out of swings, there is no need for him to be able to do the same thing with each swing as a spell caster can with each (of his limited number of) medium to high level spell slots.

Which I'm sure you knew. Its certainly painfully obvious at low levels...
