A few questions regarding Charging (Pounce) and multiple attacks

[Patryn of Elvenshae]

That's assuming that the writer, by saying charge, meant the D&D rule charge rather than the more generic term pulled from the dictionary: "to rush forward in or as if in a violent attack".

So, does someone using Pounce gain a +2 on one or more attack rolls and a -2 penalty to AC for a round?

Moreover, what kind of issues does this logic lead to? Are "attacks" no longer necessarily "attacks" now? Also, I didn't really "cast" that spell ...

FWIW

I have a couple questions regarding the Pounce ability commonly found on creatures such as Lions, as well as the Lion's Charge psionic power which pretty much mimics this ability.

Does the full round attack you get from Pounce REPLACE the single attack you get as part of the charge, or is it in ADDITION to the single attack you get as part of charge?

1) Double Movement + Single Attack (Charge) + Full Attack (Pounce)
OR
2) Double Movement + Full Attack (Pounce replacing the single attack you normally get from Charge)

Do you apply the "+2 bonus to hit" from charge to every attack during that charge, even the ones granted by the Pounce ability? Or do you just apply the "+2 bonus to hit" to the first attack in the charge only?

If I had the Spirited Charge feat, would the damage be doubled for all my attacks during a charge (even the ones granted by Pounce), or just the first attack of the charge?

If I had Rhino Hide Armor on and charge an opponent, would I apply the +2d6 damage for all my attacks during a charge (even the ones granted by Pounce), or just the first attack of the charge?

The full attack you receive from pouncing replaces the single attack you would normally receive from a charge. In the case of a charging pounce, you will apply the +2 bonus to every attack made as part of the pouncing full attack.

Spirited Charge didn't seem to take into account the ability to make multiple attacks on a charge, so the DM of your campaign would have to determine how he/she wants this to work.

Again, the rules for Rhino Hide Armor don't stipulate how it would work for a pounce attack, so it is going to be up to your DM to determine how this would work for his/her campaign.
