Intercept Charge and Attacks of Opportunity.


Rules Questions


"Intercept Charge (Combat, Teamwork)
You can get in the way of an opponent charging your ally.
Benefit: When an opponent charges your ally with this
feat, as an immediate action you can move up to your speed
toward any square in the path of the charge. If you end
your movement in the path of the charge, the opponent
must stop when it becomes adjacent to you and then attack
you instead of your ally. Your movement from using this
feat counts toward your movement on your next turn."

IF you move into the path with a reach weapon, would you get an AoO? What if you moved just adjacent to the path? It seems to me that this could become a very INTERESTING feat for goblins to have.

The feat seems to have forgotten about reach weapons because it assumes the charger can attack while adjacent.

I think the intent is for the charger to attack when you are in range.

Specifically states that the opponent only gets an attack if you are in the path of the charge IE in the straight line of squares. You don't have to move into the charge, so you could just move parallel to the charge and get off AoO's galore.


You missed my point. The feat says you get attacked which is not possible with a reach weapon if you are adjacent. If the feats does not do everything in the description it is broken(not working properly).
A GM can say the attack does not occur but that is not what the feat says.


Nevermind i misread your statement.
yes your idea is legal. But you would need a reach weapon. Even a diagnol square is adjacent and stopping there would not provoke.

edit: To be clear your idea does work with a reach weapon.

Ah, I see.

Welp, I guess he punches him in the face....


If you take the rules exactly as they are written, it says that you can move up to your speed towards any square in the path. So you can stop in an adjacent square and then perform an AoO while the opponent just charges by.

Edit: Note that the opponent only has to stop when you end your movement in the path of the charge, meaning AoOs also work with non-reach weapons.
