I'm wondering if the Overrun combat maneuver is worth using. You can't use it with a weapon, so weapon focus and magic bonuses are out*. You can't even Power Attack with it(which does make me wonder why it's a prerequisite). And the effect, knocking someone prone, isn't very useful either, compared to grappling them or tripping them, which can at least be done with a weapon from a distance.
Is it worth investing in?
*I dare you to show me a way to push someone aside with a weapon.
Yes, IF you get Charge Through. It will allow you to charge someone behind the creature you overrun.
Want to get to the Wizard but he has a meat shield? Charge Through.
Want to charge into combat but a pesky ally got in your way? Charge Through.

if you like to flank its nice as most of the time you can only cross them by acrobatics but when you wear medium armor that aint possible flanking this way comes back in to play
