Somebody with a Wounding weapon and Cleave, or a Duskblade channeling some sort of Strength-reducing spell through their weapon with Cleave could both accomplish this quite frequently.And yeah, I guess I always did think of Cleave as cutting someone in half. The definition of the word cleave is pretty much sundering something in two. I guess it's all in description, but a Greatsword is most likely to do something like cutting someone in half, wheras a mace would probably make a monster "crumple to the ground when hit by the shattering blow". Still, a Greatsword could conceivably "deal a massive blow to the side of the goblin, splitting their side wide open and sending them tumbling down to the ground. The sword continues its path of destruction, dealing a mortal blow to the adjacent kobold."I suppose its all in how you visualize it, as far as flavor goes. On a side note - anybody ever take Great Cleave with a spiked chain? It's fun, trust me.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
