Sweep Attacks

Extra attacks for fighter-class characters fighting monsters of less than one hit die (AKA sweep attacks)1) are an attack routine. Sweep attacks are available any time an attack routine is permitted, including charging, receiving a charge, and free attacks against fleeing targets. Fighters get full sweep attacks every attack routine, meaning an 8th level fighter with 2 attack routines could get a total of 16 sweep attacks in a round.

1)
The terminology “sweep attack” comes from the gold box AD&D computer games and does not appear in the AD&D rulebooks.
