Its a reaction, this means that if you can anticipate it you can foil their plan yourself.E.G. Lets say an enemy readies to attack your friend with a ranged attack for when the swordmage takes an action.You figure this out because he did the same thing last turn and is marked by your aegis of assault. Instead of taking a full defensive action or doing anything else. You charge the enemy.You now get your charge attack and his readied action goes off. You might even give your friend cover based on where you end up. You don't get to use your full defense, but you've prevented him from getting around your attack. Alternately you can bull rush him behind a pillar or wall, negating his attack. If you had powers that you could trigger on a charge you might be able to use those to move/teleport the enemy next to an ally who can make an OA[or multiple OAs] triggered on the reacting ranged attack.lets say the guy is instead next to you and readies his action to hit your ally when you take an action. Well, you can bull rush him out of range. Since your attack resolves first, any push action that moves him out of range negates his attack and he loses his readied action[and so takes no offensive actions that turn]. If you've got a damaging push power you're even more set.Its not ideal or anything, but its legal.</blockquote>
