Trip with cleave (or cleave with trip)


Rules Questions


Much like as the subject states.

If I use Trip (which can be used in place of a melee attack) can I also use cleave ( described as an attack).

Combined with great cleave could I trip a mess of (adjacent) orcs?

I was about to say no but I found this:

PRD
Some combat maneuvers substitute for a melee attack, not an action. As melee attacks, they can be used once in an attack or charge action, one or more times in a full-attack action, or even as an attack of opportunity. Others are used as a separate action.

Trip
You can attempt to trip your opponent in place of a melee attack. You can only trip an opponent who is no more than one size category larger than you. If you do not have the Improved Trip feat, or a similar ability, initiating a trip provokes an attack of opportunity from the target of your maneuver.

You just gave me a great idea. Thanks.


Several of the combat maneuvers work like this now. Cleaving sunders? God yes.

Oh My. A good time to sunder on a target with 2 weapon fighting then.

sunder is a standard action unless you're a monk in which case you can sunder 8 times a round.

Nope. See page 201. You can sunder in place of a melee attack.
