[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 4730187, member: 71571"] Why -wouldn't- a swallowed character still get their class abilities used to their fullest? Divine Challenge is a divine punishment from the gods, do you think these same gods would go 'Well, he -ate- the paladin, so good enough!' Seriously. Combat Challenge is the fighter being so rough and tumble he makes attacking others a bad idea. Do you think a fighter, having been swallowed, is going to stop being a jerk? Strangely, I can see such a fighter motivated to be -more- of a jerk in that position. 'OH YOU DID SWALLOW ME, AND NOW I CAN STAB YOUR BELLY FROM THE INSIDE! WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW, DEVOURER!?!' Same with the Warden, who also just gets bonus attacks when the stuff he is protecting is attacked. Swordmage's a bit less enabled, but nothing stops him from ignoring the TP of AoA and just attacking for free. The moral: Many monsters have roles that act as their krytonite, roles that by their nature are more powerful against them. Swallowing monsters tend to be a moment for defenders to shine. This is not a bad thing, this is a good thing. [/QUOTE]
