All the pounce ability says on, say, a tiger, is that you can make a full attack when you charge. It does not grant any additional actions. It only allows a full attack "when you charge." It does not say:- a full attack in addition to the charge, or- a full attack after your chargePsionic lion's charge says you can charge like a lion, but then also adds the problematic text:"When you charge, you can make a full attack in the same round."Now let's examine what that means. You have one round. Using a charge takes up that round. You can make a full atack. So is the "in the same round" language redundant (it happens the same round the ability is used) or is it expansive (you get a free full attack)? The power says one thing, then turns around and contradicts it, by my reading of the standard pounce ability and a literal reading of the power. Perhaps the author meant "in the same action," but we don't know.It seems likely to me that pounce itself does not give you an additional action, but works in the intuitive way. But psionic lion's charge and a few other abilities may have been written badly, ambiguously, or as a result of a misunderstanding.</blockquote>
