Burst DCs for a door and charginc

[ChimericDream]

I didn't see this anywhere in the SRD, but if a character was charging at a door (for the purpose of knocking it off its hinges), would they gain any kind of bonus to their strength check? I'd be inclined to say they gain at least the +2 for charging, but it seems they might get more of a bonus than that. Momentum goes a long way toward helping things break other things.

What would you do in this situation? I'm running a dungeon crawl right now, and while this hasn't come up yet, the characters are starting to get high enough level that I think it may be on the horizon.

I don't recall a ruling concerning charges agains doors in order to break them, either. My first thought on the subject was the same than yours, which is granting the charging character a +2 bonus on his strength check to break the door. The more I come to think about it, the more I think a +2 bonus seems to me appropriate.

Being a whole size catagory larger grants +4 on checks to open doors.
