I'm currently building an ardent/swordsage gestalt character (Just full progression of each).

I was wondering how psionic lions charge and Searing charge work. With psionic lion charge you get to full attack on a charge, so with searing charge does each hit, or only the first hit, do the extra 5d6 damage?

I would rule that you only get it on the first hit but by RAW I think it would apply to each hit.

Yeah, all the hits get the extra damage. I love that trick!

Neither.

You get the bonus damage on 'a' successful attack, not on 'every' successful attack. Say your first attack misses but your second hits? You still get the bonus damage. Both hit? You still only get a single instance of extra damage. So a Pounce still helps if you're in danger of whiffing your first attack due to e.g. miss chances.
