[QUOTE="Karmic_vegeance, post: 5731734, member: 90657"] This isn't actually what happens when you spend an action point - spending the action point is a free action, but the only effect of spending an action point is gaining an extra action on your turn - you don't immediately take the extra action. So the reason you can't make that standard action gained via action point in the middle of your charge is because it is in fact, a standard action. This benefits paragon path benefits like the Wrathbearer's Savage Action, which reads: [B]Savage Action (11th level)[/B]: When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls and add 1[W] extra damage to damage rolls with weapon attacks until the end of your next turn. You are able to spend a free action to spend the action point, and then gain the paragon path's benefit for spending it on both standard action attacks you make this turn, if you so choose. [/QUOTE]
