Complete Warrior, anybody got it? What's in it?

Heh...already did something similar. I wiped out a few guys with my Chain, did a big flourish (flicking the blood off my chain at them of course) and did my best "Kneel before Zod!" impression.

20 on intimidate check, the rest ran

Hmm, that ability would def. come in handy for his Pit Fighting career though...

You've given up a standard action for the sole purpose of gaining extra damage if your opponent charges. A Readied action does not occur until the triggering conditions are met.

As he enters the square, he provokes an AoO via Hold the Line.
Once he's in the square, your Readied Action triggers; you set your spear and get a double damage attack.
As he leaves the square, he provokes a movement AoO.

I disagree. I would argue that the Readied action replaces the AoO, mostly because you don't normally get an AoO upon the arrival of a charging opponent. In other words, while not spelled out in the rules explicitly, this is one of those areas where the DM has to let common sense over-rule the letter of the rules. Bracing the weapon for a charge makes it useless for AoOs because it is not free to be wielded "spontaneously" as the opportunity arises. The weapons which can be so set are generally reach weapons, so the readied attack would take place before the opponent could leave the threatened space. Being braced to get double damage, a hit means the charge was stopped; a failure means the opponent (now leaving the original threatened square) is no longer far enough away for the reach weapon to be used (the weapons that can be set cannot be used on opponents closer than 10 feet).

I would allow either the readied attack, or the two AoOs, but not both.

I am also saying I know you disagree. I believe this is one of those DM judgement call areas, and that is how I would rule it, as well as why. YMMV, and that's fine.

You could have accomplished all of that with just a 'Kneel before Zodd!' impression

I did something similar after pulling off a double-crit-instant-kill with a spiked chain. The DM ruled that I wrapped the chain around the guy's neck and tugged as hard as I could, and essentially invented the chainsaw.

Reach:
Longspear

Non-Reach:
Halberd
Spear
Trident
Urgrosh

... sure about that?

Hmm? A hit with a set spear doesn't stop a charge; they carry on moving unless you kill them. That's the whole point of feats Large and in Charge or Movement Check, which specifically do stop a charge.

Hey I'll have you know I do a GREAT "Kneel before Zod".

It's all in the attitude.

OT, but has anyone gotten CW from Amazon yet? They STILL claim to not have it in stock.

Yes. Mine arrived today, shipped Saturday/Sunday.

I canceled my long-standing order (which, as of last Friday, still said "Expected Dec. 5") and placed a new one after looking it up again (which said "Usually Ships in 1-2 days").

:: sigh :: I hate being wrong like that. I usually do try to check my claims before shooting off my mouth. Now I get to try and figure out what I was reading when I thought I was looking at weapons set for a charge.

Quite correct; I was assuming a kill in my enthusiasm.

Sigh...Amazon.ca is still listing it as not in stock.

BAH

AR: Non, c'est "Magefoudre" le nom.

But lightningmage really don't sound good.

No offense but I think that Lightningmage sounds much better than Magefoudre. In fact, I think Magefoudre sounds awful. If I were to use such a class name in my game, I give my players exactly 1.4 second before they come up with "Tu sais où tu peux le mettre ton Magefoutre ?".
