I know if my first action of a turn is Charge, then Daze will not stop the charge.
What happens if Daze is the second action of the turn? Can Daze stop the Charge then ?
Sequence of events:
Can I now do the attack from the Charge, or is it lost?
Opportunity attacks interrupt the current action (meaning they happen as soon as they are triggered either before an attack or before leaving the adjacent square).
One of the properties of interrupts is that actions that are no longer valid are lost.
If an interrupt invalidates a triggering action, that action is lost. (DDI)
Thus the movement would be stopped on the daze (as you lack the standard action the charge you are in the midst of requires... similar to Does an opportunity attack that stuns prevent the movement?) and the attack would not happen as it would be the completion of the charge action.
If you are still in a valid position to charge, an action point may be spent to charge, but I do not think that an action point could be spent to resume the charge rather than start a new one.
Because you've already spent the action to initiate the charge, getting dazed in the middle of it should not invalidate your action. Dazed condition would prevent you from taking additional non-free actions (and technically that's the case at the end of a charge anyway), but since you've already cashed in your standard action to initiate the charge, you should be able to finish it.
Unlike examples where an interrupt invalidates the action which triggered it, there is nothing about being dazed that would make completing the charge (action you've already started) illegal. And you clearly must have started the charge action, even if you have not started the movement portion of it yet, because that is what the opportunity attack is triggered by.
