Charge

Template:CSP In showing fear, a Paladin displays his lack of faith, and a faithless Paladin is less than a man - let alone a knight. This is vital in that when all else fails, it is faith that will carry the Paladin through to victory. Warriors of faith never shirk from combat, but rush forward with heads down and shields up, allowing their glory to carry them into the thick of battle to deliver the first blow.

+% Damage	75+(25*slvl)
+% Damage	20*(Might.blvl+Vigor.blvl)
+ Velocity	150

• A specific target must be selected: without one, the Paladin will simply charge without attacking.
• Charge will only be used if the target is outside melee range: however, the Paladin will stop and attack the target as soon as he's within range, and will always knock back an eligible target, regardless of whether the attack hits or applies damage.
• While charging Chance of Blocking is reduced to 1/3 (maximum 25%) but attackers still require a hit-check (do not always hit, as would be the case while running). [1]
• Attack rate cannot be increased or decreased (although velocity can be).

Source

• The following monsters also use Charge as an attack (although it always hits and cannot be blocked):
  • Claw Viper (Act 5 only)
  • Reanimated Horde
• An Aura Enchanted Claw Viper in Act 5 or Reanimated Horde with Might will receive a synergy bonus from it. [2]

Skill bonus

• +(1-3) Charge (Paladin Only) can spawn on ilvl >11 scepters.
