Goring charge is a racial encounter power gained by minotaurs at 1st level.[PH3:10]
It was introduced in Dragon Magazine 369[Dr369:6] with slightly more primitive wording but the same result. In that version, it was a requirement that the minotaur must charge and use the power in place of a melee basic attack. Also, that version was restricted to the Strength attribute.
