Improved Charge Feat Chain

[azmodean]

Sometimes I hate being resonable, I had a big rant typed up, but re-read the feat again (Cleaving charge) and realized that it only affects enemies on a line, which seems to restrict it properly. What do you do with monsters that have a large facing?

Unconnected thought, can you cleave off of a bull rush? I have a mental image of a big running back dragging 3 or four defenders about 10' downfield before he finally drops.

I hadn't considered that. I admit that the feat is poorly written. That's the problem with posting house rules. I know what I meant but that doesn't always match what I wrote. One thing I should have put in the description is that continuing the charge takes place instead of your normal cleave attack. So you can't charge one guy, drop him, Great Cleave every guy next to you and then continue your charge.

Since you can't "drop" an opponent with a Bull Rush, cleave doesn't come into effect. However, I'd like to see the Bull Rush rules expanded to cover this situation. The "if the space is occupied, you fall down" thing is pretty lame.
