Fighter Charges

As the Fighter reaches High Epic Levels she can preform some spectacular feats on the battlefield. All these Charges are special abilities that involve some offensive use of the Fighters Shield, like bashing down an opponent with it.

So all these Charges require that the Fighter has a Shield equipped.

These feats are called Charges.

Currently there are two different Charges availible - Bullrush and Tornado.

You will get feats that represent these abilities:

Bullrush will be on Player Tool 1. (Called Charge)
Tornado will be on Player Tool 2 (Called Charge).

Each ability can be used once per day.

These work similarly, but are two different Combat Abilities.

Getting access to a Charge requires many feats to be known:

Bullrush Prereq:

Fighter Levels 25
Spring Attack
Imp Knockdown
Epic Prowess
No Monk Speed.

Tornado Prereq:

Fighter Levels 30
Improved Whirlwind
Imp Expertise
No Monk Speed.

Once you activate a Charge on a Target a series of checks will take place.

If you used this ability once this day, nothing happeneds.
If the Target is invalid or not a Creature, nothing happens.
If the Target isn't Hostile, nothing happens.
If the Target is Immune to Knockdown, nothing happens. (Bullrush only)
If the Fighter has no Melee Weapon equipped, nothing happens.
If the Fighter has no Shield equipped, nothing happens.
If the Target is too far away, nothing happens.
If the Fighter has no Line of Sight to the Target, nothing happens.
If the Fighter stand 1 meter higher or lower than the Target, nothing happens.
If the Fighter is physically or mentally disabled at the moment, nothing happens.

Worth pointing out is that your "Use A Day" will only be lost if you preform the actual Charge.

Assuming all this checks out, the following will happen, depending on which ability you use.
