SALDAR 05-29-05, 05:07 AM	A charge requires you to end your movement in a square from which you can attack your opponent with a melee weapon. If the 1/2 orc ends its charge movement in a square from which its reach allows it to attack the bandit, then the charge succeeds and the bandit gains the AC bonus from cover. If the table interrupts the 1/2 orc's movement before it could reach the bandit with its weapon then the 1/2 orc cannot charge.
