It seems everyone agrees that the charging attacker still gets his attack, but there are several interpretations on what condition the attacker is in (prone or not, still charging or not) when he finally gets to resolve his original charge attack.
I thank you and AR for your opinions, and I think they both make sense. Without an official ruling, I suppose it is up to the DM's interpretation.
I can't believe nobody has asked this before.
Want to make it more complicated? Doesn't the tripper take an AoO for trying to trip the charger (I'm really rule rusty right now, but I thought so)? Also, since the charger and the tripper are essentially on the same initiative count (the tripper is just slightly ahead), I don't have much problem with the charger still being in the "charging state" when he attacks.
