Damage-augmenting Feats and charge ?


General Discussion (Prerelease)

Liberty's Edge

After moving during a charge, you make a single melee attack. But what feats can be used to augment the damage dealt with it ?

Obviously, increased damage due to Power Attack applies. But what about other damage-augmenting feats such as Deadly Stroke or Devastating Blow which begin with "as a standard action, make a melee attack...".

I'm asking because I will play a mounted warrior for Rise of the Runelords, which means lots of charging with the lance and multiplying the damage. Thus any increase in the damage dealt will be well worth it.

Well until the final version comes out Charge is still afull round action meaning you can't use anything that requires a standard action so any of the feats you mentioned can't be used.

Power Attack & Spirited Charge are your two best friends.


There are some non-OGL feats that increase the damage a character can dish during a charge (namely, Powerful Charge and Greater Powerful Charge, both from Eberron Campaign Setting). Other than that, the aforementioned Spirited Charge is the way to go.

Thanks for the info, both of you.

I will then forget the new Pathfinder feats and start looking at other D20 products, since my GM lets us take any published Feat we want as long as he okays it.

I already found lot of good stuff in the Cavalier's Handbook. I will go have a look at Eberron.

If anyone knows about other products with mounted combat-fiendly Feats (or damage-augmenting Feats compatible with a charge), I am interested :-)

Alas, these two are not usable while mounted :-(

Thanks anyway. It is good to know that they exist.

Sorry, you are right. I didn't have the book at hand when I mentioned them :( ...
