Is the Counter Charge maneuver from Tome of Battle viable against reach?
Ithamar and I are on opposite ends of the spectrum on this one, lol.
The question is the title really. Counter Charge, a maneuver from Tome of Battle, allows you to effectively neutralize a charge attack. My argument is that the maneuver isn't based on your own character actually attacking, its based on your opponent attacking you with a melee attack. The text doesn't even mention an attack in any way.
Thus the question being, if an opponent charges with a reach weapon and you don't have reach could you use this maneuver?
