Ready: Can you ready an action to charge?
No. The rules for a charge state that you can take a charge action as a standard action if you are "restricted to taking only a standard action on your turn". Although the ready action text states that you can take a standard action, it does not meet the requirements of the text in the charge action. (See Core Rulebook pages 198 and 203)

=========================================

Supposing you are restricted to taking only a standar action, can you ready a partial charge? particulary, and afther the last FAQ about pounce, if you fail a save against A slow spell, can you ready a charge and pounce?

linkified no ready charge

pounce on a slow charge

Note that it is stated that there is no 'partial' charge, so that yes, you can pounce on a standard action charge when you are restricted to just a standard action on your turn. Following from this, it is reasonable to say that you can ready such a charge. I don't think I like it, but it looks workable by RAW.

There is a feat that lets you ready a charge, Rhino Charge, so I would assume no

This is another thing that changed from 3.5 to PF; in 3.5 you can ready a partial charge. In fact, it is one of the most common and intuitive uses of the ready action. : /

The FAQ states you can if you are restricted to taking only a standard action on your turn, and staggered qualifies. So, yes.

While you're right as far as PF goes, it brings up the absurd situation where a Pouncer wants to be staggered; it would be a buff to him.

Which is one reason why the 3.5 ruling is better.

What a weird situation is this.
