[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1888189, member: 5777"] So.. you are saying that I was not interpreting him correctly? Lets see here.. How else would one interpret this? There are a few other not quite so blatant examples, but they still imply the same thing. The person fighting the goblin saw an opportunity, he reached over with his weapon and lopped off its head. Following through with the same motion he brought his weapon around directly with a flourish which stabbed into the mummy. It works exactly the same way if it was instead one of his normal attacks, or an attack gained through some spell, or an attack that happened because of some other special feat/situation/whatever that was going on. If it is difficult to picture the motion going from one to the next then the problem is more with picturing cleave itself then whatever made the attack that cleave worked off of. If you like cleave then there shouldnt be any problem useing cleave off of anytime that its conditions are met (down a foe with a melee attack). It doesnt matter whether the attack came from a normal attack, from some spell (by this I mean things like haste or snakes swiftness), or from an aoo.
