[QUOTE="Lord Sessadore, post: 4143122, member: 57255"] -- I apologize, this got far longer than I intended. Just a thought on whether or not the Paladin should have to pursue his challenged opponent - is there a need for the Paladin to have a hard-wired reason to go walking into traps? I would imagine that the challenge would work 100% if the paladin is standing in an area accessible to whomever he is challenging, not fleeing, and not engaging another creature. In other words, as long as he's issuing a challenge and not fighting someone else, and the challenged has opportunity and ability to reach the paladin. I'm not sure the mark should require the paladin to go swimming in subterranean dragon-lair lakes in full plate. Neither do I think that the mark should require a similarly heavily armored challengee to do similar things. Marking the dragon, who flew to her little island, and challenging her to come meet you on even ground - that seems like a challenge to me. I don't think a "challenge" should mean "I'm gonna chase you down if you don't stand still and fight me". It should mean "Come here, you scoundrel, and I'll show you fighting!" He's a paladin. Challenge them to an honourable duel, not to a game of tag where the paladin is 'it'. [/QUOTE]
