There has been several opportunities in these adventures for <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/specialAttacks.htm#overrun" target="_blank">overrun</a>. For example, the bad guy is standing in a hallway and only one person can directly reach him, and although one or two more adjacent allies may also be able to reach him,  he gets a cover bonus against their attacks. I'm playing a STR 10 cloistered cleric and I have used overrun to get on the opposite side. Having the opponent prone is just a bonus. In these cases, moving to the other side opened up another space for attack, grants a flank bonus, and prevents the opponent from running away. The two times that I have used overrun while playing is the only two times I have ever used that maneuver since 3e came out.Sadly, in the game I'm running, there has been points where the bad guy is in a constrained area and the half orc barbarian attempted but failed to bull rush the bad guy several times in a row.So, I recommend adding Improved Overrun to your feat list so you can place yourself on the opposite side of an opponent without needing a DC 25 Tumble check with the bonus of having him fall prone.And if you are building a charger, max out your Jump score. The FAQ clarifies that if you can jump over an obstacle, it will not break your charge. Then you can do fun things <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=3856568&highlight=jump#post3856568" target="_blank">like this</a>.</blockquote>
