Hello people,
I would like help with understanding the feat cleave;
As a standard action, you can make a single attack at your full base attack bonus against a foe within reach. If you hit, you deal damage normally and can make an additional attack (using your full base attack bonus) against a foe that is adjacent to the first and also within reach. You can only make one additional attack per round with this feat. When you use this feat, you take a –2 penalty to your Armor Class until your next turn.
Simple right; now the question come into play: define adjacent in Pathfinder rules.
This is the current play, the witch has taken possession of a Frost Giant, and has created magical armor to keep the body in tow, with healing spells locked and loaded.
The main question I am asking is, I would say adjacent is the square next to the target of your attack, if there is a square open, cleave doesn't carry on. That was my understanding of it, as per the dictionary definition of the the word adjacent, but in this case, we are talking about a Frost Giant doing this with a 10ft reach.
How would you rule this for sake of ease for the game sake?
Thank you
