I've always poked around with charge, and it always seemed like you just got 1 big old hefty attack, or at most two if you had a shield in one hand or an off-weapon.
Got told otherwise today, and tried shortswords.
Needless to say, it is supposed to be a charge and probably passing affair. Charging with 2x shortswords and getting all the strikes just seems dumb to me.

Re: Charge
We're much more receptive to feedback when it doesn't contain the words "seems dumb". Just saying.
I can think of a couple ways to alter this, but none that won't result in completely gimping lighter weapons in charging. I'm open to suggestions.

[CHAT - GameMaster Rias would totally nuke Rooks]: Here's how elemancy works: The freeblegreeble and the zippoflasm have to be combined with the correct ration of himbleplimp, then you add the gargenheimer and adjust the froopulon for the pattern you want, apply some tarratarrtarr, yibble the wantaban, and let 'er rip!

Re: Charge
Increase the difficulty of finding a chance to land strikes with the second hand?
You're supposed to be making a pass, not sticking around long enough by your target to be going toe to toe. There's a reason heavier weapons were used from horseback, and why in the mechanics they see bigger benefits already.
I'd be all for reducing charges to a single strike with your primary weapon, with a large bonus and an added chance for knockdown. Makes more sense than firing off a flurry of 3-5 strikes as you're riding past your target.
