Things to do While Charging

[Elric VIII]

Assuming a character has access to pounce and TWF, what are some feats that allow you to do interesting/different things during a charge?

I'm looking for things like Hurling Charge, not just ways to increase damage like Leap Attack, Battle Jump, and Shock Trooper.

Anvil of Thunder, from CWar, might be fun. Daze is good.

It requires Power Attack and Improved Sunder, which you want if you are charging; Two-Weapon fighting, which you said you wanted; and Weapon Focus on two different weapons (an axe and a hammer).

Hurling charge+Boomerang Daze+Boomerang Ricochet?

[Keld Denar]

Dreadful Wrath. Might as well scary the crap out of them, as long as you are gonna kill em.

Neraph Charge is pretty neat too, assuming you rely on SA as your source of bonus damage from TWF.

Hurling charge+Boomerang Daze+Boomerang Ricochet?

This is cool. If I fit some Scout into the build, would the ricochet also have the skirmish? It specifically mentions SA, and I would assume SS would also not happen, but skirmish does not require the target to be flat-footed.

Are Talenta Halflings (they treat boomerang as a martial weapon) a special variety, or can any variant of halfling be from talenta?

[Doc Roc]

Actually, you just need to be from Talenta. You can technically thus be a human.

Oh, that's even better. Thanks.

You could be a drunken master.
They don't have to move in a straight line to charge. That's always fun.

That's cool, but I was thinking about a charge-based Warblade/Mo9, So I have access to Bounding Assault and Salamader Charge.

Use complete scoundrel.
Twisted/tumbling charge skill tricks.
Now you can make a 90 degree turn in the middle of your charge, though the end point still has to be visible from the start of your charge.
And you can tumble across difficult terrain.

[Lyndworm]

Yes, but you can only use each skill trick 1/encounter.

It's astounding how many people forget/miss this.

[FMArthur]

Dread Pirate has the ability to charge over and around any number of obstacles that would normally be traversed with a skill check and through allies and difficult terrain as well.

[ffone]

Swashbuckler has a difficult-terrain-charging ability at 7th or 8th (most people only consider the class desirable with rogue and the daring outlaw feat to stack sneak attack, but since you said TWF + charge I figured you might be a sneak attacker).

[MeeposFire]

I think there are some shield feats that work well with charging. Would require you to pick up shield bashing feats.

[Elric VIII]

So, I'm looking at Boomerang Daze and I can't help but wonder, is this feat just insane? Something like Skirmish, SA+Craven, or Bloodstorm Blade could make the DC "roll 20 or fail."

Am I missing something or is it just that good?

[ffone]

It's that good. It seems to be the basis of many builds, sometimes in conjunction with the Aptitude weapon property to apply the feat to your actual favorite weapon.

Damage-based DCs are indeed quite scary. A less crazy but still good one for rogues is Staggering Strike (sneak attacks can stagger for 1 round with a damage based Fort DC). Less powerful b/c daze >> stagger, it's sneak attacks only, and IIRC DC = damage rather than BoomDaze's 10 + damage (but either way it's 20 or nothing most of the time by midlevels).
