Improved Charge?

Is there a feat in print or in anyone's house rules the enhances a Charge attack option? If so, what does it do? If not, what should it do?

The Powerful Charge feat appears in a few WotC books (IIRC, Miniatures Handbook is one) and adds +1d8 damage to a charge attack for a Medium attacker. The damage scales up (or down) depending on size.

I seem to also recall an Improved Powerful Charge feat that scales the damage up by one size.
 

Powerful Charge and Improved Powerful Charge also appear in the ECS. There is a class ability in some D&D book called Reckless Charge that adds an additional +2 to attack and -2 to AC. It might even be a feat in one of the books.
 

I have quite a few homebrewed ones, and if I recall the PH2 has one or two charging feats.

Here are my homebrewed ones:

IMPROVED CHARGE (General, Fighter)
You are extraordinarily accurate when you charge.

Prerequisites: Base attack +1

Benefit: When you charge you get a +1 competence bonus to hit. (This stacks with the normal bonus from charging.)
________

MASTERFUL CHARGE (General, Fighter)
Your charges are incredibly powerful.

Prerequisites: Base attack +4, Improved Charge, Run

Benefits: When you charge, you can move three times your normal speed. Your threat range increases by one while you charge (this stacks with all other threat range increasing feats and effects).
________

SUPREME CHARGE (General, Fighter)
You can attack those near the line of your charge.

Prerequisites: Base attack +10, Improved Charge, Masterful Charge, Run

Benefit: Whenever you charge you may take an attack of opportunity on any one enemy within reach at any point before the last 10’ of your charge. All your charge bonuses apply to this attack of opportunity.
________

BREAK THE LINE (General, Fighter)
Your charges can break an enemy line.

Prerequisites: Base attack +13, Str 13+, Improved Bull Rush, Improved Charge, Masterful Charge, Power Attack, Run

Benefit: When you charge and attack an enemy in a square adjacent to another enemy, if your attack is successful you may make a free bull rush attempt on all enemies in squares adjacent to the one you attacked. If the squares they would occupy at the end of the bull rush are occupied, they fall prone in those squares.
