Can you stack "Awesome Blow" with "Whirlwind Attack"

[Sims]

Just imagine with one swing of your Gargantuan Great Axe, demons litterally go flying back in a bloody, yet retributive, mess!

While this fantasy is dope, I'm not sure you can do this legally. Is there anything against it?

[Telonius]

Unfortunately not. The only way you'd be able to do this in a single round would be to get an extra Standard Action to activate Awesome Blow. If you did this, this clause from Whirlwind Attack would apply:


When you use the Whirlwind Attack feat, you also forfeit any bonus or extra attacks granted by other feats, spells, or abilities.

[Lateral]

No, you can't use it. Awesome Blow says that you use it 'as a standard action,' and therefore cannot be used with a full-attack action. (Plus, Awesome Blow sucks anyway.) Even if you got an extra standard action, all you can do is Awesome Blow one target with that standard, then Whirlwind Attack the rest- it only applies to that attack.

Knockback (Races of Stone) would work, so long as you Power Attacked with your Whirlwind Attack...

[Thurbane]

Isn't there a weapon enhancement that automatically initiates a Bullrush on a critical or something similar? If so, this should work with Whirlwind Attack as well.

Note: if you want Whirlwind Attack on a character, I strongly recommend 3 or 4 levels of Binder, to get Paimon (will also require the Improved Binding feat unless you want to invest more levels - but Binder 4 gets you a bonus Binding feat). You only lose 1 BAB, but in return get Whirlwind Attack without the messy prereqs, as well as Dance of Death, +4 untyped bonus to DEX and a few other goodies.

Brutal surge, its in the MIC. It's a swift action to activate after you hit someone, so it wouldn't work with WW Attack. Not enough actions.

Sounds like it's time for a Ruby Knight Windicator!

[Runestar]

Bah, go adamantine hurricane + 3 mountains style. Make 2 attacks against everyone adjacent as a standard action, and each opponent hit by both attacks must make a fort save or be nauseated. :smalltongue:

[supermonkeyjoe]

you need the Clouting weapon enchant from complete Arcane (and probably magic item compendium as well) DC19 fort save on a hit or get knocked back 10'
