[QUOTE="Mengu, post: 5133452, member: 65726"] Probably nothing else is going to sound as crazy comparatively. Here is a quick list of powers I'd be somewhat concerned about with the ability to use it on a charge and/or with a different primary stat: Brash Strike - e.g. a revenant assassin, converting to use with Con. Pressing Strike/Deft Strike/Fading Strike - Lots of pre/post charge mobility, especially with mark of passage + boots of adept charging. Pressing Strike/Tide of Iron/Crane's Wings/Dragon's Tail - push/prone optimization made easy. Weight of Earth - easy crippling crush access. Intuitive Strike - e.g. bard converting to cha (or cleric converting to wis) with impetuous charger? Basically what's most disturbing about this is that the ability to use the power on a charge and with opportunity attacks makes half-elves better with a borrowed power than the original class. Being able to cherry pick a power that does something awesome with a secondary stat, and using your primary stat for both that and the attack itself is pushing the envelope of balancing factors. And this comes with essentially a free multiclass granting you the ability to pick feats from a different (likely synergistic) class. Adept Dilettante and Effortless Dilettante, as well as the Polymath feature Broad Dilettante need some careful examination. [/QUOTE]
