The Charges rules do not require you to go the straightest distances just the shortest”     IMHO only the red arrows are what I would call a charge, but on the most part 4e allows for the blue/green arrows to be considered charges because the ruleset did not say anything else to shore up the “move directly to” part of the text.     <a href="http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/4199/overchargemg2.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/4199/overchargemg2.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a></blockquote>
