[QUOTE="Gruns, post: 5134952, member: 10312"] Unfortunately I don't have my PHB with me, but I don't recall any mention of HOW a creature knows it's marked, just that it knows. It also knows the consequences of said mark and anything that might happen if they ignore the mark (Combat challenge, Divine Challenge, etc). This is a bit ambiguous, though. There are some people that read the text in the PHB that says creatures know of the consequences(or whatever the exact wording is) to mean they know EVERTHING, and some that read it to mean that the creatures know what Marked does, but don't know about Combat/Divine Challenge until they face it a time or two. I tend to go by the "they know everything" interpretation as it seems to be a little more RAW/RAI to me, and I figure monsters are experienced enough to know that a big guy in a set of heavy armor is a good fighter and will smack me in the face if I don't focus my attention on him entirely. And then again, some monsters know this but ignore it anyway. Later! Gruns [/QUOTE]
