Whirlwind Attack and Great Cleave

[Thurbane]

By RAW, you can't combine Great Cleave with Whirlwind Attack.

The ToEE computer game from 2003 doesn't make this distinction, though - once you get Fragarach, WA & GC, you can go blender on those stoopid Bugbears.

Fragarach? Fraggle Rock?

Fragarach. Fraggle Rock.

If you're a barbarian or somesuch with a single, nasty attack, then WWA is good for wading into a roiling throng of enemy mooks and wading back out in a frothy sea of blood.

Best... Quote... Ever.

One thing though, A barbarian with a 13 INT? Not all that common. I guess you could get lucky and have your 2nd lowest roll be a 13 (of course you put the lowest in CHA).

Particularly not for the iconic Barbarian - the half-orc!!!

Summon Monster II used to summon 1d4+1 monsters on the Summon Monster I list.

Summon Monster II gets you 1d3. You need Summon Monster III for 1d4+1.

Well, the game was being developed as 3rd ed, and they were given a month to change it to 3.5. There's lots of 3.0 rules artifacts in the game that they missed.

Still, I will have to say watching Great Cleave in action is one of the most viscerally exciting things about the game. Especially since the baddies aren't so great about trying to avoid AOOs so as soon as you start getting surrounded, you know one of them is going to trigger one and start a blood bath.
