Cleave and Attacks of Oppertunity

[Zarthon]

The subject is basicly my question. Can you use Cleave and for that matter Great Cleave with an AoO?

 

[KarinsDad]

Yes, you can use Cleave with an AoO if you have not yet used it this turn (i.e. since your initiative came around and your turn started).

You can use Greater Cleave anytime it is applicable with an AoO.

AoOs are single attacks just like other single attacks. So, you can do anything with them that you could do with a single attack, like tripping, disarming, sundering, cleaving (if you knock down an opponent), etc.

 

[pontus]

Yes, you can. Though I've personally house-ruled that you can't, by the normal rules, you can cleave an AOO.

Thanks all

Can you use Cleave/great cleave on a charge?

 

[CRGreathouse]

Yes.

 

[Crothian]

Any time you attack and fell a creature with a melee attack, you can use cleave/great cleave as long as you haven't used up your amount in a round.

So in other words. 3 enemies within 5 feet of the barbarian and he charges one he gets the cleave on one and the great cleve on the other two? overpowered?

How does the barbarian charge if they're only 5 feet away?

Well, he has to drop them, and if they can be dropped with one hit, dropping them all in the same attack doesn't seem to over-powered too me.
