Cleave (Mythic) Clarification


Player Feedback


Cleave (Mythic)
You can easily strike any two foes within reach.
Prerequisite: Cleave, 1st mythic tier.
Benefit: Whenever you use Cleave or Great Cleave,
one of your attacks can be made at any foe that is within
your reach. That foe does not have to be adjacent to any other foe you hit with an attack this round. If you expend
one use of mythic power when you use Cleave or Great
Cleave, you can continue to make attacks against any foes
within your reach, regardless of their position, as long as
you continue to hit each foe. You can’t use this ability to
attack a foe more than once per round.

I need clarification for when using mythic power with this feat. If the character only has the cleave feat, can using the mythic power of this feat allow them to hit more than 2 enemies? It reads like you can, though I am not sure that is the intention.


That's what it looks like to me. If true, it makes great cleave (and probably whirlwind attack for that matter) useless, but it doesn't appear to be out of line with the other mythic feats in power either. My guess is it's intentional.


I think it has synergy with the Dwarven cleave feat.

It doesn't make greater cleave useless....if you check the wording, you hit your two allotted targets. Then you spend a mythic power point and you keep hitting things in your reach. Now, you compare your attack roll with the first target's AC. If you hit you keep on, comparing AC. If you miss, you stop attacking.
That is a big difference compared to greater cleave.

My current issue with this feat is what it does to Whirlwind Attack, but seeing as it is a different chain, it may not matter as much.

Im moving this thread to the Player Feedback Forum.

I don't really think that anyone ever takes whirlwind attack. It's too feat taxing and mostly useless. So you won't see much problems with that crop up during gameplay.
