No different than the teleporting target example.No, but melee basic attacks do. Charge is a melee basic attack. It just happens to be a melee basic attack that includes movement.I'm not seeing any real problems here like you mention.The position that a target is selected is inferred from the move and attack rules and the movement restriction rules:If one does not pick a target, how can the attacker make a melee basic attack? If one does not pick a target, how can the attacker move directly to the nearest square? If one does not pick a target, how can one know if the nearest square is occupied?I understand the fact that the rules are not explicitly spelled out with the terminology target, but one cannot even choose a direction to move without choosing a target. The moment the charging creature starts moving, it has already chosen a target (or target square in the case of Invisibility).It cannot change its move because it cannot change the standard action it has already started doing.Do you allow any other standard action to be modified once it is already started if the standard action itself does not state that it can be modified?</blockquote>
