Benefit: When you hit with a charge attack, you can expend all of your remaining uses of lay on hands to deal extra damage equal to 1d6 per use of lay on hands expended + your Charisma bonus. This damage comes from holy power and is not subject to damage reduction, energy immunities, or energy resistances.

Each day she can use this ability a number of times equal to 1/2 her paladin level plus her Charisma modifier.

Scenario: level 13 paladin with a +8 charsima bonus. If it double dips that's an extra 22d6 on a charge. On a crit it seems this would multiply as well.

I think you might be misreading the damage bonus. It's 1d6 per LoH expended, then you add your CHA bonus as a flat modifier to the damage.

So a 13th-level paladin with +8 CHA has 14 daily uses of LoH. If he has them all remaining and chooses to blow them all on one charge, he gets extra damage of 14d6+8.


13/2 = 6/day, plus 8 from CHA. Total 14 uses.

So that would be 14d6 + 8 damage on a charge.

But i dont think it can crit, it says "extra damage", so its not part of the charge's damage.
