They can shift away and charge, but with proper positioning that isn't an issue that often (not recommended for LFR, your group needs to cooperate much more then with say, a Fighter). Here is my build from 1-11. Currently level 28 in my home campaign. If your DM allows you to take Mark of Warding, Dragonmark, take that at level 1 or 2. If you find your DM provokes zero OAs, drop Sudden Roots and take something else you like better. I went with Eternal Defender as my ED, giving me default Reach 3. I kept Warden's Lunge as an At-Will even though with the errata I can charge adjacent, because I do not have to charge adjacent. I can charge and mark from a distance and end next to a clump of enemies, or just stay out of an aura while keeping something marked, etc., If you go this route, Battle Awareness is easily the best MC feat. ====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ======level 11Goliath, Warden, StoneblessedBuild: Earth WardenGuardian Might: EarthstrengthVersatile Expertise: Versatile Expertise (Axe)Versatile Expertise: Versatile Expertise (Polearm)Background: Early Life - Isolated (+2 to Perception)FINAL ABILITY SCORESStr 21, Con 21, Dex 13, Int 9, Wis 13, Cha 11.STARTING ABILITY SCORESStr 16, Con 16, Dex 12, Int 8, Wis 12, Cha 10.AC: 26 Fort: 23 Reflex: 19 Will: 20HP: 108 Surges: 14 Surge Value: 27TRAINED SKILLSNature +13, Endurance +14, Perception +13, Athletics +16, Heal +11UNTRAINED SKILLSAcrobatics +5, Arcana +4, Bluff +5, Diplomacy +5, Dungeoneering +6, History +4, Insight +6, Intimidate +5, Religion +4, Stealth +5, Streetwise +5, Thievery +5FEATSLevel 1: Sudden RootsLevel 2: Guard of StoneLevel 4: Goliath Greatweapon ProwessLevel 6: Versatile ExpertiseLevel 8: Hafted DefenseLevel 10: Toughness (retrained to Unyielding Stone at Level 11)Level 11: Battle AwarenessPOWERSWarden at-will 1: Warden's LungeWarden at-will 1: Weight of EarthWarden encounter 1: Roots of StoneWarden daily 1: Form of Winter's HeraldWarden utility 2: Inspiring FortitudeWarden encounter 3: Earthgrasp StrikeWarden daily 5: Form of Mountain's ThunderWarden utility 6: Bear's EnduranceWarden encounter 7: Mountain's StatureWarden daily 9: Form of the Oak SentinelWarden utility 10: Spiritual RejuvenationITEMSMaw of the Guardian Halberd +2, Iron Armbands of Power (heroic tier), Battle Harness Hide Armor +2, Cloak of the Walking Wounded +2====== Copy to Clipboard and Press the Import Button on the Summary Tab ======</blockquote>
