Hey I'm playing a Barbarian, and I'm charging a lot and I have a handle over most of it, I just want to know if I have to charge directly into the target, or if I can move into an adjacent square and still hit the enemy.

 

XXEX         This is the normal charge that I'm alloud to do 

XXMX         E= Enemy

XXMX         M=Movement 

XXBX          B=Barbarian

 

XEB2X         This is what I'm wondering

XXMX            E= Enemy

XXMX            M=Movement

XXB1X          B1=Barbarian starting position. B2= Barbarian ending position after charge.

There is no restriction on the distance or direction of travel for getting your bonus-action Attack, but you must move at least 10 feet in a straight line directly before the Attack in order to get that juicy damage bonus.

If you are asking about 4e (in the 5e forum?), each square of movement in the charge must take you one square closer to the target, so no.
