Charge!

[Hypersmurf]

And only if you're restricted to a partial action for some reason (slowed, surprise round, etc.). You can't make a single move and then a partial charge.

Except with the Ready action, which is why the Sage (or FAQ?) ruled to prevent L-shaped move-ready-charge combos.

Ah, then what you are saying is that the line on pg 124 "Charge is a special standard action..." is misleading. Charge is a full round action? But it does not list it so in the list on table 8-4, and you CAN do a charge as a "partial ation", see table 8-3.

Perhaps your apparent confusion is why the SRD lists it as a Full Round Action?

"SRD"?

I still don't understand- what is "SRD"?

So- one can ready apartial charge, right? Now, it seems you can't MOVE and partial charge, but can you do another move-equivilant action and partial charge? Say- open a door & partial charge, or dismount & partial charge?

And you all say a partial charge results in a sinlge attack, with +2 to hit, and -2 to AC, just like a regular charge, but with only 1x move- right?

One more thing about charges, What if Iready a glaive to set vs charge and they only walk up and attack? I think I still get an atteck, just not double damage, as basicly, the "ready" is vs the attack, and the "set" is vs the charge- right?

SRD is the System Reference Document provided by WotC to the public. It is basically all the D&D rules provided to 3rd party publishers so they can create their own d20 products. You can find it here.

Right. It would not seem like the SRD is much of a source, as it isn't updated for FAQ or errata. Thus, it would seem that if the PH, after errata & FAQ are included contradict the DRD, the SRD is old news. Right?

However, you folks are convincing me. Still is badly worded, tho.
