In the rules it says that you can make multiple melee attacks, but that you get a cumulative +2 penaly per extra target (0 on first, +2 on second, +4 on third etc etc). But It doesnt list a limit on how many targets, or how close together etc.

Common sense says that the player wont be attacking many due to the punative target numbers, but should it be that open, that he/she can take swings at 10+ people during one initiative pass? (assuming he/she is running through a crowd of victims) The target numbers would be horrific, but well, some smart players might find a way to abuse it.
