Paladin:p.91; Divine Challenge

Q: If a paladin challenges a new target on his turn, is he exempt from the requirement of engaging that target by the end of his turn?

A: No, the new target would have to be engaged by the end of his turn.

That answer pretty clearly contradicts the rules that are actually in the book. It says, "On your turn, you must engage the target you challenged or challenge a different target... If none of these events occur by the end of your turn, the marked condition ends..."

Note, or. If I marked a new target this turn, I have fulfilled that clause! I didn't attack or stand adjacent, but I did challenge a different target before the end of my turn.

The reason for this is obvious. Suppose I start my turn with a marked target. I move, hit the target and kill it. Now I use my minor action to mark a new target, who is not adjacent to me. By this ruling, I would instantly lose the mark and my ability to mark next turn!
