Talk:Eldritch Cleaver (3.5e Optimized Character Build)

Ray spells can be finessable and, according to text, are considered light weapons. You can't power attack (or wield two-handed) light weapons, wich eldrich blast is (and eldrich glaive). Also, since glaive is not a full-attack (its a full-round action) you do not gain the bennefits of extra attacks that are not BAB related (cleave and haste).

The other alternative is hideous blow. You can power attack with it and wield it two-handed, but you only get one single attack regardless of BAB since its a standard action (and its not touch). Also, is says that it discharges after one hit, so cleave becomes almost useless.

This build is completely illegal by RAW and can only be played through homebrew rules and GM hacking.
