    Default Maneuver Questions

    Relatively new to maneuvers and ToB so bear with me.

    #1: Can maneuvers made as a single melee attack be combined with a charge?

    #2: Can you use a standard action/single melee attack maneuver on an Attack of Opportunity?

    No and no. Standard action != single attack.

    FAQ is not RAW!

    I play primarily 3.5 D&D. Most of my advice will be based off of this. If my advice doesn't apply, specify a version in your post.

    No, not combine. There are charging maneuvers like Charging Minataur though.

    1) The act of charging is a full-round action and most strikes take a standard action to initiate. They cannot be combined. However, there are some maneuvers that are themselves a charge.

    2)An opportunity attack is a special type of "free" attack, and most strikes are standard actions, so they cannot be combined. Hoewever, again, there are some immediate action maneuvers, and I don't know if there are any opportunity attack strikes...

    To make a broad summary, they take the action listed to initiate.
