[QUOTE="DarkLord Of DForce, post: 5685656, member: 85416"] Okay, we're running a WOTBS campaign at home. We're in the 2nd module, and our group of 5-6 is at lev8. (background). Here's the question - I've got a bugbear barbarian, who does amazing damage with a vorpal exec. axe on a charge. He's optimised his character for charging. I've got no problems at all with players doing the best they can do with their characters, I just want to make sure I'm DM'ing some things right. When he charges, an item lets him ignore OAs. He also has something that lets him go through enemy's. So here is my question; if he is adjacent to a large creature that occupies 4 squares, and since he has to move 2 squares for the charge, in last nights session he was charging through the creature to wind up on its other side and attacking. I let this go, but after thinking about it today and re-reading charge I'm not sure he can do that. Charge states that every square must take him closer to his target.
