Q97
The Iron Heart maneuver Mithral Tornado (Tome of Battle 69 and here) states that I make 1 melee attack against each adjacent opponent at +2 accuracy. How do Cleave and Great Cleave interact with this?
What about the upgraded version, Adamantite Hurricane (Tome of Battle 66)?
A97If you drop a creature during the tornado, Cleave would interrupt with an immediate free attack, with the same bonuses on the roll. Cleave would do it once per round, and Great Cleave would do it every time you dropped an opponent in a round.
Example: Let's say you're surrounded by three orcs. Your total attack bonus is +10. You initiate a mithral tornado and attack one orc of your choice. You roll +12 on your attack roll, hit, and drop him. You get a free Cleave on the next orc of your choice at +12. You may now attack either orc with your next tornado attack at +12. You choose to attack the wounded orc, but miss. You move on and make your final attack against the remaining orc at +12, hit, and drop him. If you have Great Cleave, you may now make an extra attack against that wounded orc at +12.
