[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5141976, member: 82106"] It is purely an 'anti-kiting' rule. There are a dozen ways to midnight a character could charge in and move away again without such a rule. For instance its pretty easy to build a Chargeberian or various other builds with fairly drastic knockdown ability. Once the charge target is prone you can simply move away with impunity. Even easier is to simply use a reach weapon, charge to a position 2 squares away and then move back after the attack. Coupled with certain specific zones this kind of tactic can become particularly nasty. Web and Hunger of Hadar are two common low level zones that could serve quite nicely in conjunction with charge-move tactics. The problem is monsters in general really can't pull anything similar off and it can trivialize a lot of encounters. You CAN still do this kind of thing, you just have to expend action points or use other limited-use resources to do it. [/QUOTE]
