Knock Down feat with Cleave

[Saladrex]

Hi all,

Immagine a fighter with Knock Down feat (from Sword and fist) with Great Cleave.
If he jumps in the middle of the enemies and if he can keep the 10 damage required by Knock Down can he drop all enemies beside him proned to the ground? (I'm assumming you don't have to KILL the target to use cleave, but just DROP it as it is said on cleave description "If you deal the creature enough damage to make it drop..."


Thanks.

I think they mean "drop" like "drop to negative hit points ore kill". But I'm not sure.

Knock Down does not allow one to Cleave.

This is from the Sword and Fist Errata which is available on the Wizards of the Coast website:

Knockdown:
Insert to end of Benefit:

Use of this feat cannot be combined with Improved Trip to generate an extra attack, and
successful use of this feat does not grant an extra attack through the Cleave or Great Cleave
feats.
Insert may into “you may make a trip attack as a free action.”
After “whenever you deal 10 or more points of damage to your opponent in melee” insert: with a
single attack


So, sorry, but no you can't
