[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 1023031, member: 111"] This thread is to replace this off-topic discussion in the [3.5] charge thread. 1. When including the FAQ, it is very clear that ALL movement in [i]the round[/i] when you charge must be in a straight line, including any extra actions that you might be granted from Haste or whatever other source. No argument there. 2. I claim that the rules, [i][b]as written[/b][/i][b][/b], [u]NOT[/u] including the FAQ, restrict movement only during the charge and not for the whole round (that is, not including extra partial actions). Why? Because the restriction is NOT a restriction of activity for the round, it is for the Charge action. It's quite similar, really, to, for example, the restriction that says you cannot move (5-foot move aside) if you take a ful-round action. However, You may in fact move if you have a partial action because it is an action [i]in addition to[/i] your other actions(s) in the round. Charge is written up basically the same way. You are restricted to moving in a straight line when charging. Nothing states that you could not move in some other direction with an [i]additional action[/i]. Nowhere in the Charge action is there any language that restricts you movement for the whole round, unlike, say, the 5-foot step which does, indeed, have language in it that restricts you [i]for the round[/i]. This is, of course, all academic as this issue does not come up in 3.5 at all with the change in Haste, etc. [/QUOTE]
