The orcs charged the elf line who all took those sweeping AoO on the attackers. The AoO won't kill a charging attacker (it has to be a basic attack after all) but he takes some damage.Benefits to charge.You move double the usual distance AND get an attack at +1.Cons.You have to risk that AoO but it won't hurt you that much and you'll still get to complete your attack.I think that is better than:Your fighter runs twice his move (up to 60+ feet), in armour most likely and delivers an attack before a prepared opponent can mount a defence? Not likely, or not in my game unless the PHB SPECIFICALLY says he/she can.I like the new version. Why mention the AoO in KotS if it ISN'T an exception?Carl</blockquote>
