I've always liked the idea of using a readied action to move back and sideways as someone moves towards you, such that you end up 5 ft just out of their reach when they reach the end of their charge.  Then they lose their turn, and by the rules of readied actions, your initiative changes for future rounds to happen JUST before the one who triggered your ready.  Which means you then get your turn next before him, can 5 ft step in, and full attack the moron.  If he's got too much charge speed (or a small starting distance), you can always just move completely to the side 10 ft or so to evade the charge and have hte same situation minus the full attack next round.  In this case the point would be to get him into melee and strike first, and shut down his option to charge you in future rounds at all.2. Assuming you had been in the country a while and thus knew of their backwatered-ness re: Arcane spells, have you considered buying some sort of holy symbol trincket and paying some lip service to some sort of god when you cast?  I see no way anyone could tell the difference if you faked it, I mean you're already doing them as SLAs and thus casting in armor...  And...with the level 5 ability ability to turn undead, you probably HAVE a holy symbol, actually...3. If you take a really big hit, ask to spend 4 inspiration on the level 13 ability to completely negate a hit.  When the DM says no, fire back, "But I thought I was level 9.13!"  Seriously, that IH Endurance bs probably singehandedly destroyed any prayer you had of winning.</blockquote>
