[QUOTE="Starfox, post: 223940, member: 2303"] Can you use cleave on a partial action? Around here, we always played that you can, but I'm beginning to doubt this now. I never saw this in an FAQ or Sage Advice, but maybe it just seemed too obvious. From the PH under the defintion of Cleave: From the PH, under Full Attack Action: This clearly states that this is not merely itterative attacks due to BAB; it is all kinds of special attacks. These two rules combined seem to indicate you cannot use Cleave except on a Full Attack Action. The Cleave is an extra attack, and extra attacks are only allowed with a Full Attack Action. This would also prohibit the use of Cleave with an Attack of Opportunity. This would also explain why Supreme Cleave from S&F has no provisio for how you combine it with the normal movement allowed on a standard attack. You simply cannot make a standard attack with Cleave. Is there anything official on this? Has it been adressed before? I found nothing on a search. (Edited for clarity) [/QUOTE]
