Daily ✦ Martial,WeaponStandard Action Melee weaponTarget: One creatureAttack: Strength vs. ACSpecial: You must charge as part of this attack.Hit: 3[W] + Strength modifier damage.Effect: Until the end of the encounter, as an immediatereaction, an ally of your choice within 5 squares of you cancharge a target that you charge. Repeat: Until the end of the encounter as an immediate reaction, an ally of your choice within 5 squares of you can charge a target that you charge. In other words: IF in any round before the end of the encounter (including but not limited to the round in which the power is first used) you charge a target, you can choose a single ally who can - as an immediate reaction - also charge that same ally. If, during any round, you do not charge a target you do not allow an ally to make a free charge either.And an ally means an ally. There is no way that this language can be construed to allow one instance of this power to allow more than one ally per turn to make a follow up charge (for multiple instances of IDC see below). Because each occurance is a separate immediate reaction (i.e. because each time you charge triggers a new immediate reaction), you get to pick a new charge-buddy to be your ally (subject to range restriction) but you both have to charge the same target.The only area of ambiguity I see is the range - is that within five squares of you when you initiate the charge or at the completion of the charge.This seems pretty clear and, aside from the detail mentioned above, I don't see the ambiguity.And the rare case where you have multiple warlords all using the same power is an odd corner case but yes, it would allow the players to chain charges. Player A (with IDC active) charges target X, allowing Player B (with IDC active) to also charge target X. Player B then allows player C to also charge target X, etc. But a) I don't see this as a likely occurance and b) Since each character can only use one immediate per turn this only allows a maximum of one extra charge per round per character regardless of how many of them have used IDC (and there is a practical limit on how many characters can charge the same target anyway). Carl</blockquote>
