Combat Challenge: Two Targets Marked at Once...

[Pbartender]

I thought fighters had to use a melee attack to mark.

Nope... "Every time you attack an enemy, whether that attack hits or misses, you can choose to mark that target." ...any attack will work.

 

[Pbartender]

I think this bit:

A new mark supercedes a mark that was already in place.

applies to marked creatures and to marker creatures: As soon as you put a new mark in play, the previous one disappears. As soon as you're marked by a new creature, a previous mark upon you disappears.

That is, honestly, the one bit I wasn't entirely certain of.

He's also wrong. In fact, in the very first article where we learned about marking, we see a fighter mark two targets at once.

From reading that article, I got the impression that marking two opponents was a feature of the thicket of blades power, not the general marking rule (remember, simple rules, many exception).
