[QUOTE="Drakh, post: 1604243, member: 20026"] Personally why would you need to kill someone to hit 2 people with one motion? i would say you wouldnt - take bruce lee in enter the dragon, he uses a bo-stick to fell 5+ people in one swing, none of them being killed at all. now this is probably a whirlwind attack but the fact is its still technically the same principle.. hitting more than one person with one swing. Cleave on the other had relies on a great strength (pre-req = 13 str) so it lends to the belief that the attack would need to pass through some part of the first target. [B]Longspear;... [/B] Fighter thrusts the spear through the chest of one kobold and then using his great strength and superior positioning, lifts the kobold and impales him into the chest of another kobold. kobold kebabs anyone? :) [B]Spiked Gauntlet;... [/B] The fighter uses a backswinging motion to rip the jaw of one orc and then thuds the back of the gauntlet deep into the arm of another. [B]Punching Dagger;... [/B] the thrust rips across the chest of one goblin and into the next in one heroic lunge from the fighter. [B]Whip;... [/B] a whip deals noleathal damage so i would rule that (along with the sap) cleave is not usable. [B]*BONUS* Unarmed Strike;... [/B] the monk lifts his leg high into the side of the ogres head breaking his neck and then continuing his swinging arc brings his heel down into the back of the skull of the ogres war-dog. [/QUOTE]
