Stand and Charge

The Sage

Would it really be so difficult for the Sage to post his replies to a message board rather than in individual e-mails to folks with questions?

Sheesh. How many "rulings" go by in e-mail that we don't see?

FWIW, I hope this one doesn't make the next FAQ. ;)

dcollins - except you get a move-equivalent action + readied action, which (since you can specify "the end of my movement" or "right now" as the condition for the readied action) resolves to move-equivalent + partial action, and also makes a lot of internal sense.

As for partial charge-move away. Sure - go ahead and draw AoO's from an opponent you just gave a charge to. It's no more abusive than attack-move away, which is entirely possible by the rules, and it's nowhere near as powerful as spring attack or ride-by attack. The only real problem is that it makes move-attack slightly redundant (unless you want to hold onto your AC and not gain a to-hit bonus, which again makes sense - if you cautiously approach your opponent, it'll take slightly longer to do).
