Cleave
Whenever you hit an opponent with an axe, there's a 75% chance you cleave their armor, giving them a -1 penalty to their AV. This penalty can stack a number of times up to half your strength modifier, rounded up, +1 on a critical hit. |
The first time the player Cleaves a target, this message appears in the message log:
You cleave through the target's armor. |
Cleaving a target that has already been cleaved doesn't add a message to the message log. The only way to notice is [L]looking at the target to see a larger number in the debuff:
cleaved (-X AV) |
Factions That Teach Cleave
Cleave is not taught by any of Qud's persistent factions. However, procedurally generated factions such as village factions can teach randomly chosen skills as part of their water ritual.
