I'm confused about how this feat works. The description says that "Large creatures gain an extra damage of 2d6….and so on". Does this mean that a medium-sized creature (say human, for instance) would inflict at extra 2d6 dam on a large creature? Or does it mean that large creatures inflict more damage on other creatures when they charge? A little clarity would be appreciated.
Powerful Charge
Type of Feat: General
Prerequisites: Charge
Specifics: When you charge, if your melee attack hits, it deals an extra 1d8 points of damage for medium size creatures and 1d6 for anything smaller. Large creatures gain an extra damage of 2d6; Huge gain 3d6; Gargantuan gain 4d6 and Colossal 6d6. This feat works only when you make a charge. It does not work when you're mounted. If you have the ability to make multiple attacks on a charge, you may apply this extra damage to all of those attacks in the round provided you do so before the charge expires. This feat also increases the damage of a Shield that is used as a weapon during a charge action.
Use: Automatically
"You Charge with extra force as if you are a full size category larger than you actually are"

"When you charge, if your melee attack hits, it deals an extra 1d8 points of damage for medium size creatures and 1d6 for anything smaller."
Player Characters are only of size Medium or Small, so the most you will ever inflict is 1d8, or 1d6 if you happen to be Halfling or a Gnome.
If, for example, a Giant or a Dragon were using Powerful Charge then they would do 2d6 damage or more because they are rather large. The damage caused by the feat increases with the size of the individual using it.

Re: Question about Powerful Charge feat
Thanks Mouse. I have a tendency to overanalyze things, especially when they result in my favor.
Heh, this all seems so obvious now.

Re: Question about Powerful Charge feat
What about if you use the Powerful Charge feat as a Bear Warrior? Does the Dire Bear classify as a 'Large' creature, and thus get the bonus?
