[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 3022011, member: 259"] Set aside the pounce feat for a moment, and just look at the name: "pounce" implies that you run toward a creature and then, well, [b]pounce[/b] it. You're able to attack with all your natural weapons because you're doing so midair, simultaneously, before you hit the ground. Watch how a cat pounces a victim to get an idea of what using the feat should look like. Note that the cat doesn't bite (make a single attack) [b]prior[/b] to its pounce onto the victim. As such, I've got no problem at all allowing the +2 to the charge to apply to all the attacks: the +2 comes from the charge's forward movement, and the entire cat is moving forward at the same rate. If that cat somehow benefits from spirited charge, in which the charger moves forward even more powerfully, I'd have no problem allowing spirited charge to apply to all the attacks either. Now look at the pounce feat again. Apparently, it allows the user to take [b]iterative[/b] attacks at the end of a charge. I'm not sure what that would look like, but it certainly wouldn't look anything like a pounce. My suggestion? Rename the feat and divorce it from the charge ability. Keep the pounce ability as a charge that ends with a full attack instead of a single attack. [/QUOTE]
