[QUOTE="Yarthok, post: 4883877, member: 64890"] The charge rule states on PHB page 287: The above indicates that the charger must pick a square he is moving to as part of the charge and then he must move directly to that square. Once the charger reaches that square, from which he [B]can[/B] attack because he is now adjacent, he has now fulfilled the movement portion of the charge allowed by the rule, and the movement portion of the charge is over. The rule doesn't talk about picking a new square if the square you charged to suddenly becomes one from which you cannot attack the target. You have reached the target square specified by the rule...movement over. Unfortunately for the charger, the ranger will weave out of his way and the charger's attack is negated. As a side note, someone brought up an interesting point about reach weapons. it seems to me that the rule specifies that reach weapon wielders must stop their reach distance away from the target, because that is "the nearest square from which you can attack the enemy."
