Verification of Halfling "Cavalier" bonus damage

[Knight Captain Buzz Seeker]

I just want to confirm that I am calculating this properly, so here goes:

Spirited Charge:

Benefit: When mounted and using the charge action, you deal double damage with a melee weapon (or triple damage with a lance).

Power Attack:

Benefit: You can choose to take a –1 penalty on all melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain a +2 bonus on all melee damage rolls. When your base attack bonus reaches +4, and every 4 points thereafter, the penalty increases by –1 and the bonus to damage increases by +2. You must choose to use this feat before making an attack roll, and its effects last until your next turn. The bonus damage does not apply to touch attacks or effects that do not deal hit point damage.

Risky Striker:

Benefit: You can choose to take a –1 penalty to AC to gain a +2 bonus on melee damage rolls against creatures two or more size categories larger than you. When your base attack bonus reaches +4 and every four levels thereafter, the damage increases by 2. The bonus damage is multiplied in the case of a critical hit. You can only choose to use this feat when you declare that you are making an attack action or a full-attack action with a melee weapon. The effects last until your next turn.

While using a Lance, do Power Attack and Risky Striker get tripled by spirited charge?

You're set with Power Attack, but Risky Striker says, "You can only choose to use this feat when you declare that you are making an attack action or a full-attack action with a melee weapon." The charge action is neither the attack action nor the full-attack action, so you can't use Risky Striker with a charge.

Also, this is a rules question, not a PFS question.

Sure they do. The tripling doesn't include any ifs or buts.

We had a local gendarme/dragoon who routinely ended bosses with a single charge.

It had drawbacks though, such as set up time, confined spaces and scenarios happening inside the Hao Jin tapestry.

No Risky Striker on a Charge *but* the lance still counts as a two handed weapon when used in a mounted charge, so with Spirited Charge and Power Attack you get +9 damage per every 4 points of BAB and that should be enough, shouldnt it? Especially if you are a Cavalier using a Challenge?

I'm actually using a Dragoon/Hunter build.
