(The rules for charging weren't written with multiple attacks in mind.)With an intelligent feline (e.g., a wildshaped druid) this can be pretty devastating. Give him a few levels of rogue and he can get sneak attack damage 5x/round.  Had a wereleopard rogue take out a high-level wizard that way - she won initiative, Pounced him while he was still flatfooted, and claw/claw/bite/rake/rake for mega sneak attack dice.  He was catfood before he knew what hit him.</blockquote>
