Character level 9 barbarian(6) unarmed fighter(3)
I've got rage powers- lesser fiend totem, lesser hurling, and hurling charge.
Feats include- rhino charge and hamatulatsu strike.
I've got a throwing axe... and I'm raging and readying a charge(rhino charge) conditions for charge are met...
I throw(hurling charge), I charge with a piercing attack(gore from fiend totem) which enables free grapple attempt(ham strike)...
Am I OK so far?
Edit: Nevermind....^^
Basically what I'm asking is if the charge from rhino charge still counts as a charge for related charge abilities.
It says you may ready a charge. So nothing to say it is not one.
edit: nice combo by the way

There's a fuzzy bit under the Barbarian's Rage Class Feature which states, 'While in a rage, a barbarian cannot use... any ability that requires patience or concentration.' A DM may use this to rule you can't Ready actions at all whilst raging (I wouldn't, but it's possible some may), so watch out for that. Apart from that little DM-negotiation, yeah, a 'partial charge' (which is essentially what Rhino Charge allows you to do) is just a charge with half the range.
Thanks for the responses ... and good catch Prof. I would say my intended use would require patience.
Haven't made him yet, but he is joining a special ops group infiltrating an area of the darklands. We already have rogues, illusionist and sneaky healer...but no beef.
My intention was for a "lie in wait...take my mark out in surprise round" plus other uses of readied action monster. I will probably skip the barbarian thing and go with boar shred for the piercing to initiate the hamatula strike grapple.
Dropping the hurling aspect? Also you can use Hamatulatsu for piercing + sickening if you are going unarmed. I don't have UC but i assume boar style implies unarmed. Hamatula strike, however, need not be unarmed as it can be used with piercing weapons.
Or, infact you can stack the hamatulatsu and boar style together. Heck add jaguar pounce if you like, though if you are sticking to one weapon, improved critical is better.
Yeah boar style allows slashing unarmed .. boar ferocity allows piercing. But I'm floundering a bit on where to go with it. Now that I feel confident about the foundation of my idea being legit I'll open a thread in advice. thanks again
