[QUOTE="Drakh, post: 1606257, member: 20026"] Firstly Cleave only works when you drop someone below 0 hps so if the friend is willing to Die to me moved out of harms way then so be it ;) :confused: Secondly at no point do i state that the kobold moves more than 5ft (which is the limit of movement during a round of combat) i just state that the attack would enable the fighter to attack through the opponent (very similar to what the ranged cleave feat describes with an arrow) - remember a kobold does not FILL a 5ft square - he simply uses this space to maneuver and obtain better position for attacks. The attack is with the same weapon regardless of whats attached to it - if it was an ogre then the attack would still pass through but the ogre would certainly not be lifted off the ground. Lastly - D&D is about roleplaying, its about making a simple few dice rolls more attractive and entertaining to your players - i make great efforts to add visual desriptions to even the most simple of dice rolls in an attempt to help visualise the adventure for my players and to enhance their tales with NPCs they meet. If a fighter came to town and said "I have slain many kobolds with a single blow" he could (with the help of my descriptions) instead say "I once thrust my spear through the heart of a kobold and with my great strength scewered him into anothers chest!" If you dont like it - fine - just dont pick holes for the sake of it [/QUOTE]
