Powerful Charger (3.5e Feat)

3e Summary::You can deal devastating damage to any opponent you charge.

Prerequisite: Str 13, Power Attack, base attack bonus +6.

Benefit: Whenever you charge a foe, you can forgo your normal +2 to attack in order to perform a Powerful Charge. If you hit with a Powerful Charge, you deal double your weapon's normal damage (just like a mounted lance or critical hit). This applies only to your first attack (in the case of Pounce and similar abilities). If you use a weapon that normally deals multiplied damage (such as a lance with a charging mount or a critical hit) this extra damage stacks but is not multiplied accumulatively. For example, if you achieved a critical hit with a greatsword (2d6, x2/19-20) during a charge, this feat would allow it to deal triple damage instead of double. This feat does not stack with Spirited Charge or similar effects.

Special: A fighter may select this feat as one of his fighter bonus feats.
