There's a reason Whirlwind Attack is a feat, and one impossible to get at low levels - because trying to swing like that is unnatrual and rather difficult.So, in my opinion, a smart fighter probablty would NOT try to overextend themselves that way in combat, especially when it essentially means trying to use a feat they do not have (if your fighter does have whirlwind attack, feel free to try and hit as many as possible). Trying to swing like that would be a great way to make sure that you are so off balance that you cannot react to an attack, and that you are in no position to counter anything. That's not smart in my opinion.</blockquote>
