Lesser Hurling and Hurling Charge

[Scrynor]

Does Hurling Charge mean the barbarian can hurl a big object for falling object damage during a charge (when normally it takes a full round action) or does it just mean that the barbarian can draw and throw a regular throwing weapon during a charge?

Those two things are both full-round actions, and cannot be combined.

Hurling Charge can be combined with the Charging Hurler feat though.

[Scrynor]

Yeah, that's how it seems to read RAW to me as well but I can't figure out the RAI.

Why does it use the word "hurl" in Hurling Charge and why is Lesser Hurling a requirement for it if the two are mutually exclusive? Is it really working how they meant it to be?

[blackbloodtroll]

Lesser Hurling is what get's you up to Greater Hurling, and chuck objects one size category larger than yourself.

Having Lesser Hurling as a prerequisite for Hurling Charge was likely a decision based on balance.
