Cleave

[Falstaff]

Hello,

I'm fairly certain I know the answer to this question, but I had a hard time getting the other players in my group to understand this last night.

What modifiers apply to the damage an enemy adjacent to you takes when you use the Cleave fighter class power? It is just Strength modifier, or can I add enhancement or feat bonuses too?

My understanding is that you add nothing, just Str modifier damage.

Right?

Correct.

Basically, yeah, but I'll complicate things a bit: you do not add any damage bonus that specifies "damage roll". This just happens to include just about any damage bonus, if you read carefully.

At this time I think only the Pit Fighter does extra damage with any weapon-based attack, which AFAIK includes Cleave's side-effect or Reaping Strike's miss.

Thanks for the help.
