[QUOTE="pming, post: 6661468, member: 45197"] Hiya! *shrug* Just use common sense is my answer. If you see your opponent set his spear, no duh you're not going to charge at him...not any more than if he suddenly levitates off the cliff face 5' back into mid air. I see no reason to try and come up with any sort of "incentive to set", or the reverse. If a villain has a pointy stick set to receive you, with the evil cleric finalizing the ritual behind him (by plunging a dagger into the chest of some scantily clad female, of course)...well, it's worth the risk. Charge! Mechanics wise: First, ignore any references to Feats. They are optional and should, IMHO, *never* factor into making a house rule; if a house rule ends up overly enhancing or weakening a Feat, [I]fix the Feat[/I]. Anyway... Second, "The person setting the weapon against a charge gets a +2 bonus To Hit his charging foe if his foe does not have a shield that is bigger than a buckler. If he hits his foe, his foe takes double damage and is stopped in his movement unless it's bulk is significantly more than the person setting for the charge. If he misses his foe, his foe gets +2 to hit him, and does double damage on a hit. Optionally, the charging foe can decide to not attack and just continue past the person who set the spear". Sounds reasonable and logical from a fantasy RPG perspective. ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
