Overrun Question

[Paragon]

Ok someone help me with overrun, can you only make one overrun attempt per round? if you overrun someone are you done for the round? if so where do you end up? on top of them, just past them, the continuation of your movement? can you overrun someone then continue to the next person and overrun them? is overrun almost useless?

thanks for the help

From the SRD:

OVERRUN
You can attempt an overrun as a standard action taken during your move, or as part of a charge. (In general, you cannot take a standard action during a move; this is an exception.) With an overrun, you attempt to plow past or over your opponent (and move through his square) as you move. You can only overrun an opponent who is one size category larger than you, the same size, or smaller. You can make only one overrun attempt per round.

I can only interpret that last sentence to say: one attempt per round, one person per round, done after finishing the rest of your move past the victim, cannot overrun a second target. Overrun is not a great option compared to normal weapon usage (as it should be).
