[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 313930, member: 111"] No, what I am "stuck" on is that most folks think the rules actually state that all movement in the round of a charge must be in a straight line, when that's not what it says at all. I am trying to get folks to understand what is actually written in the rules. Folks keep jumping ahead on this issue, and skipping over what is actually in the rules. I am not disputing that you have a reasonable application of the rules, applying what could be the intent of the rules. Personally, the way the rules are written, I think it is perfectly valid to think that they really meant you should be able to take any Partial Action, without restriction, after readying an action. That would include being able to Partial Run or Partial Charge even though it might be in a different direction from your original move (as in move + ready an action). If you focus on running instead of charging, it really seems like you should be able to Partial Run in any direction, doesn't it? As in, I move to the right and spot the BIG BAD GUY. I ready an action to RUN if he comes my way. He comes my way - so I get to run away (not the same direction) - as in Partial Run. Seems reasonable, doesn't it? Of course, Run and Charge work the same way as far a straight line movement goes, so what works for one works for the other, and vice versa. [/QUOTE]
