Powerful Charge/Pounce?

Looking at adding a levels of Barbarian to a Minotaur NPC to increase his CR and the whole lion-totem-pounce thing came to mind to make him even meaner/more challenging (things PC's can do I let more advanced monsters do as well).

So the Mino can charge/pounce and do his full attack routine with his greataxe of +11/+6 and gore at +6 (+2 attack from charging), but how would this work, or will it work, with his powerful charge ability?
Does the powerful charge-gore attack become primary so the attack routine ends up; +11 gore, +6/+1 greataxe?

Anyone have any suggestions or played with this idea before?

As I read it, Powerful Charge adds an extra attack to a Charge. Pounce modifies a Charge to allow a Full Attack action.
I see no RAW reason that Pounce would negate Powerful Charge, or vice versa, so I'd allow a both the Gore and Full Attack to function together.

You are just adding a natural attack to a weapon-based full attack. Which reduces the natural attack to Secondary. So you are looking at Axe +11 / +6, Gore +6.

That makes sense and is how it normally is, I guess I would just apply the powerful charge's increased gore damage instead of normal gore damage then.

Thanks!
