Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nibelung" data-source="post: 4522780" data-attributes="member: 74499">Which a fighter can do too, but this dont mean that the mobs will be charging him if he do. Paladins have FOUR encounter powers that have range over close burst 1: One in lvl 7, and 3 in epic levels. None of his at-wills are ranged. What this mean? That the paladin is a major melee class. Now, why should a melee class take a ranged weapon to mark his target? And probly he will be smacked by 3 OAs if he do too, because he will probly be in a melee fight holding some other mobs with his thread area and his occupied square. "Yes, but the fighter will be there in the same situation, and he cant mark other guy too"But the fighter have class features that allow him to be a real meat shield. Combat Superiority dont allow most enemies to pass througt him, and he get a bonus to hit OAs. Paladins do OA, and the mob pass. He can hold only one monster per time with his mark. How should be his advantage? 1) The auto-damage; 2) The ranged mark that brings the enemy to him and allow him to say "step away from my squishy friend with the pointy hat". ==================Cutserv already said that you need to engage the same turn. I know this is the official rule. I'm just throwing some light in spots, so everyone can think about it. How anyone rules his table is not of my business.</blockquote>
