[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 4431572, member: 221"] Several of the chains work this way in the current rules, meaning that as you progress in number of attacks, you need to take the next feat in the chain to continue to make the feat better than the use of the secondary and tertiary attacks. In the case of cleave, Greater Cleave would allow you to essentiall trade three or more attacks against one foe with a descending probability of hitting for multiple attacks against multiple foes with each attack having the best probability of hitting. My wives two-handed sword fighter has made a lot of use of the overhand chop-backswing -devestating blow chain. Essentially backswing allows you to give up your secondary attack against a single foe for more damage with your primary attack and devestating blow requires you to give up the secondary and tertiary attacks for an automatic critical hit (sans any burst effects).
