When you do so, you ignore the power's requirement and action type, and your target is the creature that triggered the opportunity attack."The requirement for Goring Charge is:"You must charge and use this power in place of a melee basic attack."It just felt like he was knocking a lot of people prone a bit too much.  But I'll be darned if Opportunity Gore is not a feat for a minotaur fighter to have.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
