Hello community. I've seen this question asked, but never definitively answered.
Cleaving with a mighty cleave weapon, Does it give you a third possible foe to hit, or does it allow you to make a second attack on the foes already in the cleave as long as it wasn't the first foe, or both?
Thanks for any clarification on the matter. Happy gaming.
Seems to be the case, as long as you're using cleave, and the attack is against a foe adjacent to the first.
My understanding and I could be wrong is it works like this. You attack, hit, then cleave a new target, if you hit then you can make the mighty cleave on a third person.
I think the ability mighty cleave is more there to help those with out cleave.
Mighty cleaving can only be used when you're using the cleave feat. The wording on it only outlaws the target of the origional attack. It seems after that you can hit the target of the cleave attack again, or target a third foe so long as they are adjacent to the first.
For review:
This ability can only be placed on a melee weapon.
A mighty cleaving weapon allows a wielder using the Cleave feat to make one additional attack if the first attack hits, as long as the next foe is adjacent to the first and also within reach. This additional attack cannot be against the first foe.
That was my understanding as well, but is there an official answer on this?
