How things have changed.Regardless of the SRD, charge is a standard action, sorry no errata, no change.However, someone posted the most elegant point to this problem, that never came up when I asked the question.A standard action INCLUDES the move, the two are not seperate. I used to think that you took a standard and then the move, or vise versa. Now that I've checked the phb I was incorrect. So charge is a standard action that includes the move, the charge description gives reference to how that move can be performed- straight line only, no backing up.So you can't move and then charge.HOWEVER, if you have a partial action from haste, nothing in the book prevents a partial move, then a charge. That's legal.As for spring attack, that's stickier. It says that you have to stop when you are able to attack- but you have to do that when you attack normally anyway, and spring attack allows the option to continue moving afterwards. Since charge says as long as you continue in a straight line its kosher, I would say you can spring attack similar to a ride by attack, as long as you keep going straight your okay.</blockquote>
