Sweep attacks?

Are there rules (or Feats) for sweep attacks? You know, the ogre swings his club, the dragon swings its tail, or someone pulls an Errol Flynn sort of thing. Was trying to find it in the PHB yesterday, but no luck.

Thanks,

Whirlwind too. But, if it's a sweeping trip or knock-down effect you're going for, Cleave and Great Cleave won't help with that.

Perhaps the special Dragon attack form "Tail Sweep" is what you're looking for (MM p. 61).

This attack form just deals automatic damage in a 30 ft. diameter area (Reflex save for half), no tripping involved.
 

Great! Thanks. Seems like there's two ways to do it:
* Stupid cave troll vs. weenies: Cleave, Great Cleave
* WFRP Elven wardancer: Whirlwind

Does trip work against multiple opponents? PHB only says "an opponent".


Thanks,

Do you mean the action just by itself? No. You can, however, make multiple trip attacks in a round.
