Ride by attack and charge

[666bender]

The 2 set of roles can't work together .
Not seen a FAQ on it.
Charge is direct closest line to foe .
Ride by attack allow to continue move .
Charge and movement roles block going through a squere of opponent .
How can one continue the charge ?!

Benefit: When you are mounted and use the charge action, you may move and attack as if with a standard charge and then move again (continuing the straight line of the charge). Your total movement for the round can't exceed double your mounted speed. You and your mount do not provoke an attack of opportunity from the opponent that you attack.

You make the normal charge (so you technically "stop" at the nearest square where you can reach the enemy) and then after the attack, you get an extra length of movement (in a straight line) that does not provoke.

If you search the forums you will see a bunch of posts on this...basically, you are right, bender. It doesn't work. It has to be houseruled - I believe SKR suggested using the old 3.0 rule of charging to any point that will hit the enemy, rather than to the nearest point. I'll try to find the post.

Can someone link to the thread where skr clarified how charge is supposed to work (it's not as limited as it reads)? I'm on my phone.

relevant thread

This was a 3.0 to 3.5 change that never got fixed, which then bled into PF. The 3.0 rules for charging were to any square you could hit the target, which then got changed to the closest square in 3.5. Unfortunately, they neglected to change the wording for Ride by Attack.

You can't go through the square of an enemy unless you make an overrun check. When you charge, you charge to the side of the enemy.

Yup, thanks. Specifically, I was referring to this post.
