Using the feat does include a charge {notably not a 'move up to your normal speed and attack' partial charge]. But in no way does it validate readying a partial charge under the 3.5 ruleset.Sorry, readies happen when it is not your turn. They worded readies and the 'charge your speed' to prevent readying a partial charge.READYThe ready action lets you prepare to take an action later, after your turn is over but before your next one has begun. Readying is a standard action. It does not provoke an attack of opportunity (though the action that you ready might do so).Readying an Action: You can ready a standard action, a move action, or a free action. To do so, specify the action you will take and the conditions under which you will take it. Then, any time before your next action, you may take the readied action in response to that condition.   It seems he window to do the partial charge in 3.5 is on your turn. Readies do not happen on your turn.Rather than address how multiplying damage can be a Bad Idea with things like Spirited Charge and Power Attack's new 2 for 1 with two handed weapons, wotc tried to reduce how often one could charge.  So Wotc decided in 3.5, allies blocked charging and anything that reduced speed negated charging. Readied charges were torn out of the ruleset and the one way to get past an ally while charging [overrun] was swiftly eratted.</blockquote>
