You only deal double damage if he charges, of course.You don't have to take a specific sort of readied action to get double damage against a charging foe with a spear. As long as you have an attack ready against a charging foe you deal double damage.But it's the player, not the character who formulates the readied action. The character does not know what a ready action, set spear, roll to hit, or whatever is.Nor does a character with power attack know the difference between choosing to take -2 to hit and -5. That is up to the player.It does (but unless the foe charges you don't get double damage). And sometimes that (hitting the first person) might not be what the player wants, so she would have to specify a different condition. For instance if she thinks the friendly cleric will approach to heal her before the enemies act. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
