The Barbarian doesn't provoke OA when charging during rage. Outside rage he just eats it up. If critical, he hits again (Rampage, basic melee against any target, once per round), if it kills, he gains temp HP equal to CON and swift charges to another target (once per encounter). After the charge he shifts away with boots of adept charging, if he expects the warlord to use wolfpack tactics on him, in order to be able to charge again without prior movement. If charging is impossible, he uses recuperating strike to gain temp HP, or pressing strike to clear up a path out, or shift enemies into combat advantage. Keep in mind there are no other actions allowed after a charge.2) Warlord A uses commander's strike if Barbarian is adjacent to a target. Commander's Strike adds the Warlord INT bonus to the Barbarian's basic attack. See 1) for possible chain reaction. Alternatively he uses wolfpack tactics if possible (needs to be adjacent to target or ally). If wolfpack is not possible, he helps out the barbarian with healing or bonuses or does his own thing.3) Warlord B repeats the same tactic Warlord A did, unless tactical movement is not necessary or rampage and swift charge are used up already. The chance is high that before the Barbarian's turn is up again, he did some nasty damage and hopefully multiple attacks and kills and self-healing. Temp HP's don't stack up though.4) Repeat at 1)The goal is to let the Barbarian make use of Rampage once per round, and the Swift Charge once per encounter. A Barbarian with a reach weapon adds even more flexibility to this scenario. He can shift after the charge to gain flexibility, and then use the free basic attacks from Commander's strike without being adjacent to a target. Of course this works with just one Warlord, I just liked the ridiculous idea of 2 warlords <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
