You just no longer have the charge's momentum behind you, and therefore you don't attack the person behind you as hard.  Nothing prevents you from trying it, if you have the feat. Artoomis, when you talk about only applying bonuses if there's no compelling reason NOT to apply them, you're doing exactly what I think we don't want to do.  You're talking about adding a new descriptor onto every single bonus:  "Applies on a cleave?"  The far simpler alternative is to rule that the "same attack bonus" refers to the attack bonus before modifiers are applied. Daniel</blockquote>
