It's not that fast. A Google of "charge speed" turned up <a href="http://www.napoleon-series.org/cgi-bin/forum/archive2009_config.pl?md=read;id=108483" target="_blank">this</a>:This instruction from the Manual and Platoon Exercise explains how British bayonet charges were supposed to progress: "It is to be understood, that whenever a battalion or line charges with bayonets, the whole are in the first instance to porte their arms and advance at a firm quick step, or at a steady run, if the circumstances render it necessary, but in the most perfect order possible, until they reach the enemy: It is at that instant that the front rank are necessarily to bring their firelocks down to the charging position, and the whole to press forward with the utmost energy."In a 5e world, if the targets of the British bayonet charge were to shroud themselves in a harm-inflicting aura the British might take the damage twice if their "pressing forward with the utmost energy" happened to mean that they reached the enemy at the end of a round, and had to actually resolve their attack at the start of the next round.Agreed.Are you suggesting a rules interpretation (in which case can you elaborate?) or a rules change (in which case, yes, that would be one change that could be made to deal with the stop-motion paradox).EDIT: having read a few more posts, I think you're suggesting a rules change. A bit like [MENTION=6787650]Hemlock[/MENTION]'s "everyone can bonus attack following a dash."</blockquote>
