[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 2240730, member: 12037"] I just want to point out that I completely agree, and would probably not come back to the next gaming session if this is par for the course for this particular DM. The play style is just too different than my own. EDIT: If you can charge down a gently turning corridor, then what about on an open field? Can you charge in an arc if there are no walls? When you start moving away from the rules like this you open up the possibilities. When players later want to arc their charges in open fields they are well within their rights to do so now, and now you've completely gotten rid of the "charging in a straight line" rule in favor of a "charging in a 20 degree arc" House Rule. This is a Big Deal and is not a minor House Rule. It does cheapen the 90 degree feat, and if players have a fair understanding of the rules, then they have probably passed up many opportunities to charge in an arc. This goes back to my example of changing Weapon Finnese to drop the +1 BAB requirement and not telling the PCs. The PC rogues will never benefit from the feat before 3rd level but NPC rogues will take it at 1st level, creating an imbalance between PCs and NPCs. [/QUOTE]
