Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chibbot" data-source="post: 4149753" data-attributes="member: 63856">@ the bag of rats v. terrasque idea:If your fighter has enough HP/AC to go toe to toe with the Terrasque and survive long enough to kill it by doing 3pts of damage around, then by all means go ahead. But if your fighter is really that powerful, you might as well just directly attack the Terrasque, because the fight will only last 2 or 3 rounds anyway.We don't actually know the calculation that goes into it yet. There is likely some formula that involves how much bonus damage you do from your attack normally, I would assume. And it likely will increase as you increase in level, getting better versions of Cleave, if thats what you want.A bonus auto 3 points of damage at level 1 is actually great, minion or not. Its true, against the level 4 solo dragon, doing 3 points of "splash" damage each round is vastly inferior to doing d10+5 points of damage, but in that situation, when you are actually fighting the dragon, you will probably just be attacking the dragon. I know that I certainly would. Even if I were toe-to-toe with a dragon, and surrounded on all other sides by minions, I would attack the dragon, not the minions. Depending on what powers are available, I would almost certainly hit the dragon, and then cleave into one of his minions.Against monsters who aren't a solo encounter for adventurers several levels above me though, doing some splash damage to a guy every round really stacks up, and does make a difference. Its a big help once you bring down target A from 100% to 0% and then move on to target B, only needing to drop him from 70% to 0%.</blockquote>
