[QUOTE="Altamont Ravenard, post: 1802517, member: 14700"] IMO, you need to ready an attack. The trigger could be "I attack the 1st enemy that comes close". If that enemy was charging, ka-blamo. If it wasn't, you still get an attack. If your trigger is "I attack the 1st charging opponent", then, if no one charges, you're basically screwed. I think it's not part of the RAW, but I let a character that hasn't had a chance to use his Readied action drop it to act normally (ie the readied action becomes a delayed action). What I'm unclear on is can you receive a charge when the charger isn't attacking you? Can you receive a charge half-way through (ie, the spear-fighter is 20' in front of the wizard. The orc brute is 20' in front of the fighter. The fighter sets to receive a charge. The orc brute charges [i]the wizard[/i] but passes through the fighter's threatened space. Can the fighter receive the orc's charge? Does the fighter also get an AoO?) AR [/QUOTE]
