And your powerful shield feats. My bladesinger, armed only with a longsword, without shield or anything else in the off-hand. I'll voluntarily lose initiative so that you can charge. And after you hit mit me once with - wow - double damage, you'll get 4 regular attacks from me (5 with haste). As at least 3 of them usually hit, that will be triple damage. Also, if one of those becomes a critical hit (with a threat range of 15-20 not unlikely), it will be even more. Next round, I'll even let you get away, and wait 'till you get back at me (maybe I'll cast some spells or dring a healing potion while you rearrange for your charge) and we repeat that. Fact is: you DO get double damage (or even more with some feats), but you only get one single attack. And then it's the enemies turn, who can use the full attack action to hit you several times, usually dealing twice (or more) the damage of one attack.</blockquote>
