[QUOTE="VonRichthofen, post: 3313543, member: 49184"] (Greater) Powerful Charge is a waste of feats. Two feats for 2d6 bonus damage on ONE attack during a charge - thank you, I'll pass. Improved Smiting is the next waste - 1d6 extra damage a few times/day? No way. Good aligned strike? Align Weapon ? Holy Sword ? Holy Avenger ? Reckless Charge? Who needs a extra +2 to hit if you can have Shock Trooper? NO, honestly, most of these feats will hardly build a good charger - funny, since uber-chargers abound on most boards I know of. Worst of all, Lion's Pounce is a druid feat, right? Druids can't be lawful good, sorry. Or did you think of something else you couldn't name? You should instead take: Power Attack (funny you wouldn't mention this) Improved Bull Rush (not very good, prerequiste feat) Shock Trooper Leap Attack (you'll have to find a way to get a decent Jump skill score, though) These four are the core of a good footsloggin' charger build - +80 points PA damage without loss of Attack bonus at level 20. Now, we're getting into slightly more tricky areas. You should, by any means, cast Rhino's Rush before you charge - bang, double damage. Also, in preparation of combat, Divine Favor (Practiced Spellcaster is good here) and Sword of Law/Holy Sword (if needed), as well as [I]maybe[/I] Divine Sacrifice. Well, these are just the bland basics, but that's how I would at least start to build a non-mounted charger. [/QUOTE]
