[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 4900902, member: 111"] Analysis (with feats written out): 1. [b][i]Fey Charge:[/i][/b][i][/i] When you charge, you can use your fey step racial power as a free action to replace up to 5 squares of your charge movement with teleportation. If the charge attack hits, you do not expend fey step. 2. [b][i]Eladrin Swordmage Advance:[/i][/b][i][/i] When you use your fey step racial power to teleport to a square adjacent to an enemy, you can make a melee basic attack against that enemy as a free action. Reading these two together, the question becomes: When using Fey Charge are you using "your fey step racial power to teleport to a square adjacent to an enemy?" Since you "use your fey step racial power as a free action" during the charge then, in most cases, you could use Eladrin Swordmage Advance before the charge attack is resolved - in fact, if you use it, it [b][i]must[/i][/b][i][/i] be used before the charge attack is resolved or it is too late to use it. The exception being, for course, if you use Fey Charge but do not end up actually "teleport(ing) to a square adjacent to an enemy," which might very well happen. This means you might use you fey step racial power in a charge, be successful with two attacks, and no have expended your use of the fey step power. That's a really nice synergy, though it did cost a minimum of three feats to set it up (the two feats mentioned here plus at least one multiclass feat). [/QUOTE]
