General Rules: Feats - Break Charge

Break Charge [General] (from Mercenaries)
You know how to set yourself against a charging enemy and attack them before they can hurt you.
   Prerequisite: BAB +4.
   Benefit: When attacked by a charging enemy, you may take an attack of opportunity against the charging character with a +1 competence bonus to your attack roll. In addition, you gain a +1 circumstance bonus to your Armor Class against the charging enemy. If you are using a weapon that can be set against a charge, such as a halberd or longspear, you do not need a readied action to set it, and you can use it when taking the attack of opportunity. Using this type of weapon, you deal double damage against a charging enemy.
   Special: This ability can only be used against one enemy per round.
