I've found a contradiction about charging attacks.  On p.162, it says that when charging you get a net bonus of +2 (the charging bonus of +4 and the -2 from running).  The problem is that on p.186, it says to ignore the -2 from running, and on the next page (p.187) it says the charging bonus is +2.  Now, I  know the net result is the same, but I figured I would point it would point it out, as it can be a little confusing.

They mean the same thing (but the wording could be different I guess)

You get -2 for running and +4 for charge attack.

On p.186 they just say you get total mod of +2 for charge a attack (the -2 and +4 simplified = +2)

I know they mean the same thing, but I am kinda just pointing it out, as while the result is the same, the book gives two very different reasons why.  I put this up just to point out the little error so it can be put in errata and hopefully cleaned up when they update the PDF/book.
