can i use a ready move action vs charge to step aside or out the the path of the charger??
can i use tumble as a ready action vs charge to tumble threw the on coming charger?
If i ready a move action vs the charger as he comes in to run me threw to step aside and when i do this can he still attack me after i moved off his line of charge after his full round action??. i know the charger can still make a stander action if he moves normal movement. I know by readying a move action i can only 5ft step has he comes in on me. Im new to being a DM.
Thank for your help on this.

You can ready to move if you get charged, but you'd have to move to some place where they wouldn't be able to charge you as you'd move first before any movement had begun.
Tumbling is a move action so you can attempt to do that, though your getting very specific in what your trying to do. If attacked I attempt to tumble through them or something like that.
I....really have no idea what your asking in the third one?
A readied action interrupts his action. So events unfold like this.
1. Attacker declares he's charging you. He has not yet moved. You get to use your move action to move to wherever you want.
2. Attacker can now charge you, if the rules still allow him to do so. If you step behind a wall, or behind difficult terrain, he is no longer allowed to charge you. He can then choose to do something else, like throw a rock at your head, or just move up and slam his fist into your various body part.s
You would have to know the person is charging though which is the issue.
What you can do is say when character X moves to within 15 feet of me I will move out of the way. That way his action is wasted.
The tumble is also valid.
As to the 3rd question a charge is very limited. If you move to a place that would force him to change direction you are safe, but if you are still in a square he can threaten without having to change direction you can still be attacked.

I was looking at it the wrong way. i was thinking i could use my move right befor he gets to me,like a side step.

in game, just need to say, "im readying a move action" so the players know im going to haft to make a move of some kind by my next turn.If i hold out i can ready agin when my turn comes around.
Our do i haft to say "im readying move vs charge"?? This does no seem right becaues i would never charge knowing hes going to move when i charge in right?? In the book it says that i must say the action im doing,move,swift,free, under specific "conditison" a spell could be a conditison a charge is an action not a condition right??. So just by saying im readying a move action makes the player whos thinking about charging think about his action alittle more befor he goes. that seems right??

Readying an Action
You can ready a standard action, a move action, a swift action, or a free action. To do so, specify the action you will take and the conditions under which you will take it. Then, anytime before your next action, you may take the readied action in response to that condition. The action occurs just before the action that triggers it. If the triggered action is part of another character's activities, you interrupt the other character. Assuming he is still capable of doing so, he continues his actions once you complete your readied action. Your initiative result changes. For the rest of the encounter, your initiative result is the count on which you took the readied action, and you act immediately ahead of the character whose action triggered your readied action.

And again I point out:
The action occurs just before the action that triggers it. If the triggered action is part of another character's activities, you interrupt the other character.
if you say i ready when character x moves within... then before he makes a double move towards you, the action that trigger yours ready action you can move, then he will still charge you if he can or make some other move attack whatever.

in the end its just ring around the roesey. I was thinking if i was charging at double speed i would not be able to attack a player that steps aside useing a move action from being ready.Im worng i feel that the charge is the way to go unless ready set. ready set is the only hope for this charging action
