07-05-07, 10:55 PM I just have a quick question, if someone is fighting one guy then turns(stays in the same 5 foot space) to attack a different target(assuming they have more than one attack during a round), do they occur a penalty for switching targets...if they do, do they also occur a penalty when they down a foe(without having Cleave) and go onto the next nearest target(again without moving)??

I hope I made this as clear as possible.

Thank you in advance.

You can spin pirouettes in your square without incurring penalties for switching targets.

I don't use those rules, but there they are if you want them.
