Pretty much what the title says. Does the Goliath (RoS) racial ability Powerful Build boost the damage from the feat Powerful Charge?

Edit: Sorry, forgot to say Powerful Charge is in Eberron Campaign Setting and Monster Manual 3

No. Powerful charge's bonus is based off your size, which powerful build does not directly modify. It is based off the same logic as powerful build not improving your unarmed strike damage.

Powerful Build states specifically "Whenever a goliath is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check." Powerful Charge isn't an opposed check; it's extra damage dice, like sneak attack.

No. Powerful build tells you exactly when you can consider yourself one size larger, and that's not one of them.

All right, thanks everyone. That's what I thought it was, but I figured it couldn't hurt to double check!
