[QUOTE="Judas, post: 1871316, member: 3917"] Which Feat are you reffering to? Acrobatic Charge is a class ability, not a feat. I would take each senario in a case by case situation. I could see where a table (if light and/or small), or some other object could simply be pushed out of the way, and wouldn't hinder the charge in any way.

While I do believe it's possible to do, but only with an expendeture by the character (Making Acrobatic Charge a feat in that special case scenario, or by simply taking the appropriate levels in the correct class), and not just something everyone can do just because they have ranks in jump, or have Skill Focus: Jump.
