08-06-07, 07:34 PM In the feat description of Dual Strike it states that using this feat is a standard action. My question has a couple of different angles. Could a character, after using thier full action, use this feat if an attack of opportunity presents itself and/or in conjuntion with the Cleave/Great Cleave feat? Thanks for the help.

No, only when using standard action (requires your turn or readied action if you readied it).

Dual Strike is a special type of standard action, not an attack action.

You can't Dual Strike on an AoO/Cleave any more than you can drink a potion or cast a spell.

Exactly, you also can't Dual Strike when Spring Attacking.

Well if you drop the enemy with your dual strike then your cleave is the same attack...

If you deal a creature enough damage to make it drop (typically by dropping it to below 0 hit points or killing it), you get an immediate, extra melee attack against another creature within reach.
It's just an extra attack, not an extra Dual Strike.
