So while it may not work in all cases, it is still useful. Options to think on: for a charge fuelled use of SidestepA) move partially behind something and gain cover/concealment for example (doesn't negate the charge, but makes hitting you harder) B) move to allow your party members to hit the charger without movingC) draw the charger in to allow easy flanking position/s, especially if they now only need to take a 5 foot step  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />  D) If you are on a wall/higher ground, moving back might mean that the charger cannot reach you (you cannot charge through difficult terrain, including a steep incline). I'd probably allow the charger to stop his charge once you had moved away (still with -2 on AC), your foe/DM might too, which means no charge attack on you .* I'm thinking of getting Hold the Line for my Tactical Soldier (MHB) for the above reasons. It's how I'ld rule it as a DM and how I plan to present it to my DM.</blockquote>
