I've seen several threads about what Barbarians can do while raging on this board, but have a few questions about their limitations.

It seems that the general consensus is that Barbarians, while raging, can use Supernatural Abilities. My questions involve those specifics.

1) Can a raging Universalist use Hand of the Apprentice while raging?
2) Can a Raging Barbarian use Arcane Strike?

Were I DMing, I would certainly allow these, but I'm curious as to how others feel about it. Personally, I'm of the mindset that if it isn't specifically written that you can't do it, and it fits into the category of "Make the other person dead" then feel free. But I'm not DMing and I'm curious as to how others would handle this character.

I'm having an issue with the wording on Overrun and Charge

Overrun wrote:
As a standard action, taken during your move or as part of a charge, you can attempt to overrun your target, moving through its square.
Charge wrote:
Charging is a special full-round action that allows you to move up to twice your speed and attack during the action.

Which in my opinion can be taken two ways:

The first way (and I think this is how it's intended) is that you can overrun as a charge action, gaining the +2 bonus to attack and therefore CMB to overrun.

The other way (which is how I run it because I'm the DM and I can) is that it means that while charging you can initiate an overrun on creatures that are in the way, negating the line in the Charge dialogue that says you can't charge through anything except empty space and unhindered terrain.

This was how I and others ran things until we noticed the Charge Through feat.

I'm curious how others handle this

If this has been answered before I apologize

Quote:
If you have the Combat Reflexes feat, you can add your Dexterity modifier to the number of attacks of opportunity you can make in a round. This feat does not let you make more than one attack for a given opportunity, but if the same opponent provokes two attacks of opportunity from you, you could make two separate attacks of opportunity (since each one represents a different opportunity). Moving out of more than one square threatened by the same opponent in the same round doesn't count as more than one opportunity for that opponent. All these attacks are at your full normal attack bonus.

I've bolded the bit that confuses me. This line could be taken one of two ways: One way is that you only provoke one AoO for your movement from any given creature. Another way to take it is that it only applies to creatures who occupy multiple squares (such as a Large creature)

My question is, how people take this to mean, and if you have reach and Combat Reflexes if a creature provokes an opportunity for every square they exit, as technically the provoke for every round
