cleave releted questions


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


1.)is there a cleave like attack for ranged attacks.

and

2.)is there a feat that allows you to attack nonadjacent targets? or targets that adjacent to yourself but a five foot square away or behind you or just a five foot squire away from a friend but still in range of your own attacks.

and

3.)and once you get two attacks can you cleave with both attacks? most likely not.

and

4.)is there a feat that allows you to move during a cleave?

all of these questions should be for all races i know dwarves can move about and maybe orcs.

thanks ahead of time.


1) I don't believe so.

2) I am not understanding the question. To attack non adjacent targets (I assume with a melee weapon without reach), you need to increase your reach through effects such as Lunge or Longarm. You can always attack adjacent targets with a non reach melee weapon, facing isn't a thing in Pathfinder.

3) No. Cleave is a standard action, and thus incompatible with full attacks.

4) Nothing for all races. Cleave Through can but it requires being a dwarf or taking Racial Heritage as a human, half elf, half orc, or a geniekin, tiefling, or aasimar with the racial trait that makes them humanoid (human).


For 2, he means is there a feat that lets you cleave any target, not just adjacent ones.

I think cleaving finish is all that there is:

Actually there is a Cleave-like ranged feat, but it takes some prerequisites and only works with thrown stuff, Startoss Style!

The first feat is just a damage boost for a single thrown weapon, but the second feat is a standard action to throw the specified weapon and if it hits you can attack another target within one range increment. And the third feat is basically Great Cleave.


how are all those races getting access to a human only feat?


and by geniekin do you mean the half breed elemental humanoids?


2)

Giant Killer

This is the (dwarf/racial heritage only) feat line you are looking for.


Ifrits, undines, oreads and sylphs (geniekin), as well as aasimar and tieflings, all have an optional racial trait that makes them look almost human and adds humanoid(human) to their type (that is, they are that as well as outsider(native)). That gives them access to all human stuff, just like it does for half-elves and half-orcs.

Because they all are part human. Anything with the human subtype are eligible for feats, traits, favored class bonuses, etc that require Human.


ohh okay. thanks for the info.... the things i can do now.....>.>


If you're running a PFS game, disregard all of the following.
1) Not a feat, or even official material. But in 3.5, I have a +3 ammo enhancement called Imapling. Essentially, you roll once for the attack and then compare it against the ACs all opponents within a 100' line, starting from the closest first. If the ammo misses, any furtger would be hits are stopped.
2) A weapon with modifiable reach would do if you could change reach as a free action.
3) My group uses 3.5's cleave rules.
4) Nothing to add.
