03-21-06, 06:34 AM Is it possible to charge a moving target? What if that targets' speed is not constant? Example: An orc is running in a straight line, and a character wants to charge the orc from an angle.

Another question: Is it possible to charge along a flat surface (floor) and then up a staircase?

2: No, unless you have a cool abilltiy, like the swashbuckler or the duelist...

03-21-06, 10:15 AM you can charge down stairs or up using balance skill. There is a penalty for it...but the biggest thing is that you can not do it if the stairs somehow hamper your movement.
