I love the idea behind the new cleve feat in Pathfinder. It reads:
Cleave (Combat)
You can strike two adjacent foes with a single swing.
Prerequisites: Str 13, Power Attack, base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: As a full-round action, make a single melee attack
against a foe within reach. If you hit, you deal damage
normally and can make an additional attack (at the same
bonus) against a foe that is adjacent to the first and also
within reach. Both of these attacks are made at your highest
attack bonus. You can only make one additional attack
per round with this feat.
But it seems like this would be a great place to make a differentiation between one-handed weapons and two-handed weapons. I propose that the feat should work the old way for one-handed weapons and this new way for two-handed weapons - i.e. one-handed weapons would require you to drop the first foe in order to get the attack on the second while a two-handed weapon functions as above.
Thoughts?
I have the feeling that two-handed weapons have already an "upper edge" that we are trying to tone down a bit; giving the new Cleave feat only to two-handed weapons (leaving the old, slightly lame one, to one-handed weapons) would be a huge step backward, IMHO...
