Attacks of Opportunity while charging

First Post
Ok, so I'm thinking of making a monk build based on using the Flying kick feat just about every round (and screaming Hee-Ya! everytime I roll), At level 9, I'll be a 2nd level Drunken Master with the stagger class ability that lets me charge in not-so-straight lines. I'll have the following feats (among others):
Dodge
Combat Reflexes
Improved Trip
Defensive throw
Flying kick

Let's say that as I'm charging around, (in a circle mind you, 'cause I'm drunk) I provoke an AOO against a character who is chosen as my D bonus, and they miss, so I (successfully) trip them and get my free AOO on their prone, lame butts. Do I get my charging damage against them? Assume that I've moved the requisite 10 feet before provoking the AOO.

I'm asking rule wise, flavor wise I could see me doing a street fighter-esque hurricane kick, or something. I bet Jackie Chan would get his bonus charge damage while doing this.

Is the Defensive Throw feat in the CW? And if so, it is the same thing as in the OA book? Does it specifically mention that you may make a free attack on the tripped opponent? I'm asking, because, on a somewhat related subject, there's another feat that grants you a free trip attack, but, even if it has Improved Trip as a prerequisites, doesn't grant you the free attack that usually follows an Improved Trip (said feat is Knockdown).

IMO, instead of Defensive Throw you should get Mobility + Elusive Target. Cause Overreach doesn't count against your AoO tally and you can't be tripped back; plus you get additional gravy.

Answer your question: Ruleswise, you are currently "using" your charge action and you attacked him during your charge, so you do that extra 1d12 points. Goes against the spirit of the feat IMO... but whatever.
