[QUOTE="Mr. Teapot, post: 5404589, member: 62191"] You can actually use the Warden mark in the middle of other actions ([URL="http://www.wizards.com/DnD/Downloads/379_wardenessentials.pdf"]confirmed in a Dragon article a long time ago[/URL]). Which means that you could use it with the charge even without the specific "you can use free actions after a charge" text: you move as part of the charge, mark, then make the attack part of the charge. The fact that you can use the warden mark in the middle of another action means that you could use it while moving or the like. Move two squares, mark some enemies, then move the 3 additional squares to your real target (you'll suffer some OAs for this unless you can shift multiple squares). Use it as a debuff against enemies that you move near but aren't your primary targets. Note that the marking from the Defender of the Wild feat is not actually the same as the Warden's Nature's Wrath marking. The feat doesn't actually say "Once per encounter, you can use Nature's Wrath", it just says "Once per encounter as a free action, you can mark each enemy adjacent to you until the end of your next turn." Which means that you can mark even on other people's turns, which wardens can't. You could mark an enemy that you expect to be moving away from you, for example. (GMs might not allow this, and I don't blame them.) [/QUOTE]
