[QUOTE="the-golem, post: 5088129, member: 87242"] Hmm. Although the text states that divine challenges cannot stack (either yourself or anothers) the mark itself will fade if you don't continually engage it (by either being next to or attacking it). Since the mark must continually be refreshed, I would say that the radiant damage effect would refresh after each round. Actually... reading the text literally, it says "first attack before your next turn" NOT "first attack of the encounter after applying Divine Challenge on this target" or somesuch... Ergo, the first attack it makes, before you go again. Example: Sir Bruce's Turn: Sir Bruce the Most Holified divinely challenges Urdok the Stinky Goblin, after smashing him over the head with the Holy Cudgel. Sneaky the Rogue's Turn: Sneaky the Rogue tries to tiptoe past Urdok the Stinky Goblin, but the Stinky Goblin sees this, and performs an Opportunity Attack. Ouch! 3 holy damage to the stinky face! Urdok the Stinky Goblins Turn: He tries to smash the Sneaky Rogue again. No holy Damage. Sir Bruce again... same thing as before .. sneaky doesnt move, so no OA on him from the goblin. On the goblin's turn, he still doesn't like the rogue so he wants to ... OUCH MORE HOLY DAMAGE! etc etc. I hope my silly scenario makes sence :) [/QUOTE]
