[QUOTE="MeMeMeMe, post: 4451490, member: 68069"] Actually, as Hypersmurf points out, it's not. Once you understand how it works, it's actually very hard to describe it in as few words as the rulebook does, without seeming even more clunky and open to misinterpretation. Believe me, I've tried. Here's a restatement of the rules for when you can use a divine challenge, and when you can't: 1. At any time except as stated in (2) and (3) below, you can spend a minor action to challenge someone, and then, in the same round, engage them (by either attacking or ending your turn adjacent) 2. If you challenge someone, and aren't able to engage them [i]by the end of the same turn in which you challenge them[/i], the challenge ends. If that happens, you can't use the challenge power in your next turn. 3. If you have challenged someone, that challenge continues indefinitely, as long as you engage the target on every one of your turns. If you ever [i]end[/i] a turn without engaging a target, the challenge ends and you cannot use the challenge next turn. 4. If you have an ongoing challenge against one target, you can challenge another target. This immediately ends the first challenge, and you spend a minor action to challenge the new target - go back to step 1 for the rules covering that. I think that covers everything. [/QUOTE]
