Cleave 2024 weapon mastery
One of the eight weapon mastery properties in the 2024 rules (SRD 5.2). 2 weapons have it.
What Cleave does
If you hit a creature with a melee attack roll using this weapon, you can make a melee attack roll with the weapon against a second creature within 5 feet of the first that is also within your reach. On a hit, the second creature takes the weapon's damage, but don't add your ability modifier to that damage unless that modifier is negative. You can make this extra attack only once per turn.
Cleave damage
The second hit deals the weapon’s dice with no ability modifier: Greataxe 6.5, Halberd 5.5 on average.
