[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 2081949, member: 707"] You're assuming the charger can tell whether the spear-wielder is readying against a charge, or readying against an attack. Certainly, the charger can tell the spear-wielder is readying against [i]something[/i], but without knowing exactly what he has three choices: 1. Charge, and hope he hasn't readied against it. 2. Hustle and attack, and hope he hasn't readied against it. (Assuming he's in range to hustle and attack. Remember that charging gets you double-distance. You can't double-move and attack without a charge.) 3. Do something else entirely. All of these choices carry risks and rewards. If the spear-wielder can ready against an attack and get the double-damage for readying against a charge, then the advantage always goes to the spear-wielder, regardless of what the charger tries to do. This doesn't sit well with me. [/QUOTE]
