[QUOTE="eamon, post: 4438518, member: 51942"] Being charged doesn't automatically invalidate your charge. I'd be inclined to let the player freely change any portion of his action which has not yet resolved, but that's probably a permissive house rule rather than core. (Similarly, I'd let the archer pick another target.) One reason I'd do so is because it's hard to explain why [i]not[/i] and don't want to bother with confusing rules explanations for something so minor. As I'm writing this, I'm wondering if maybe I'm not overlooking some nasty consequences of allowing this - anyone? In any case, if you do let the player change his target, he's not excused from the normal requirements of a charge - that is, he must have moved directly (there may be no shorter path). Unless the kobold charged to a square in front of him, he can't finish his charge by hitting the kobold, since a shorter path exists which he didn't take. In pratice, that's probably not normally the case. [/QUOTE]
