I'm looking for PF equivalents of things like Leap Attack or Shock Trooper. What feats exist in Pf for a two-handed power attack charger?

Well race catfolk have a bunch. Racial trait grants you +10 to ur speed when u charge. Another feat takes away the a.c. penalty, and they get pounce at +10 bab

Can you be a bit more specific for what type of charger. Barbarians gain pounce with a certain totem. Rogue archetype gives you sneak attack when you charge someone.

Well, the character I plan on using is going to be a Slayer (probably kitsune or catfolk to gain one of their pounce abilities). However, I am just wondering about feats in general for two handed power attack characters to simply increase my PF knowledge base.

If you get pounce Rhino's Rush could be worth 2 feats, though not for its intended purpose (Ready your charge for as soon as your turn ends. Then it's effectively full attack from a standard action, but you have to use your move/swift first or lose them)

Furious Focus lets you ignore the Power Attack to-hit penalty on your first attack of the round. (I like it, some folks think it's a waste of a feat.)

Cornugon Smash gives you a chance to intimidate anyone you hit with a Power Attack
Hurtful gives you a swift-action attack when you intimidate someone in melee range.

That seems like a nice combo, but relying on intimidate makes it a bit situational.

Is there anything that increases PA outputs?

If it wasn't for the pounce inclusion, I'd have to recommend the Vital Strike chain.

Tiger pounce applies the penalty to power attack to ac a la shocktrooper, however the feat line is very intensive.

the best build for a charger is a barbarian with the mounted fury archetype, as you can then use a mount combined with lance & pounce for large damage.
